Pros

Decent pay for Eugene. Lots of free lunches and dinners. Nice big TV. Exercise encouraged. Lots of different kinds of chairs to choose from.

Cons

The owner is an illogical, impulsive, immature, emotionally unstable MICROMANAGER who enjoys change. Change (often for the worse) is the only thing you CAN count on. Dan giveth and Dan taketh away. Before you consider jumping into "crazy town" ask about the longevity of employees. The good ones leave or get fired and the drug abusers and absentee employees get chance after chance to redeem themselves. There is no loyalty or integrity in upper management. If I could have posted the true rating it would have been -5 stars. I wish I had never worked at CBT.

Pros

Excellent benefits - 5 weeks PTO annually, free healthcare for your whole family, 401k matching Fully remote workforce Regular bonus awarded through profit sharing Casual culture, work hard play hard type of vibe You can get a lot of experience on a number of projects or collaborative work with other teams

Cons

Not a great place for people who need really structured management or tasks - you need to be self-motivated enough to get things done quickly as a remote worker, and be responsible and driven enough to be able to figure stuff out on your own as it's very trimmed-down on the management and operations side. Don't work here if you're not comfortable with shifting priorities - we work fast to try new things and pivot quickly as needed.

Remote, team before everyone was let go.

Fear culture, no communication or rather, some manipulation. No collaboration amongst other teams.
