Pros

Great for college grads to learn from. Learn as much as you can and then get out. This place is a dead end job as many. Harness your skillset and leave. But prepare to put in long hours!

Cons

The owner is a one man shop . There is one org chart, the owner, below sits everyone else. You are expected to work long hours, if you are a member of the 42:30 club then you are nothing. You are considered a warrior if you stay late. Completing job assignments is just not enough, if you just sit there after 5:30 pm you are considered a hero. Since you are putting the hours in, playing online poker or video games as long as you are in front of a monitor screen you should be golden and will mostlikely be promoted. One of the worst management of people I've seen. People working in factories probably are treated better. This company tries to be hip by offering free sodas, the benefits are bad to average. PTO don't even think about asking for vacation, you are considered an enemy for asking and will be personally attacked for just thinking of vacation. You are also not allowed to have a personal life, no work life balance. Do not dare to have outside activities, the company IS your sole purpose. If you want to work for a place that treats you like you are sub human and insult you and blame you for management's decision, please apply.

Pros

Pays on time! Staffed with many excellent, competent, knowledgeable people who are capable of juggling the multiple client workload (with enough time, proper management and support) and willing to share their knowledge. Excellent product. Engaging work when allowed to be a _. The home grown Online Project Communication system when used fully. Paul is always seeking opportunities to grow his company and portfolio. Paul Toomey.

Cons

Poor to no documented process. No to poor process review. Status quo approach and mentality is pervasive. No empowerment. No risk management strategy, problems are documented as risks. Too much early focus on customization and too little "off the shelf" leads to failure to deliver on time. Little support. Little willingness to change. More of a don't think, do as you are told than a practice your craft environment. Cliquey environment, where bullying by some tenured people is tolerated. Communication is not effectively managed across platforms. Projects are sold based on the dream (off the shelf) implementation and not on the reality (we don't have the resources and/or plan to get it intricately customized in the time promised). Not enough time for stretched stressed staff to get all the customization work done in the time promised Diversity and inclusion amounts to email reminders of whose birthday month it is and no training.
