Pros
Conductor is the best place I have ever worked. We make software that helps companies make great decisions about Search Engine Optimization. Here are some of the reasons why I love working here: * The collective knowledge of our team runs wide and deep. Not only that, but everyone is generous with their time and wisdom, so we have opportunities to learn every day. * There are so many different things to do. We collect and process web-scale data, so if big data problems excite you, we tackle many of those. We build a beautiful, intuitive webapp to help our customers make sense of their data; if that is your thing, we need you. More importantly, no matter where you start, you will never run out of new challenges. * Our CEO, Seth Besmertnik, is one of the most passionate businesspeople I have ever encountered. He wants to build a company that is successful AND exemplary in the values it stands for. It's fulfilling for me to be a part of making Seth's dreams come true. * SEO is good business. While it is true that we are not housing the homeless or feeding the hungry (although we provide pro-bono services to Housing Works, which does), we make people's jobs easier, and jobs are a big part of people's lives. We are in a space that's growing quickly, which i$ exciting, too. * Our office is full of light. Whereever you sit, you get lots of daylight. * Our work neighborhood (Gramercy) is lovely and has many great lunch options. We eat lunch together most days and get free lunch on Fridays.
Cons
Communication from management could sometimes be more straight forward.
