Pros

I have found that my presence and employment is highly valued. Management is open to new and innovative ideas. My role has been adjusted to fit my needs and utilize my skill set. The CEO and company in general really value each individual’s abilities. People can really make a difference here and implement new suggestions. I definitely do not feel like a cog in the wheel. The CEO is very passionate about the company and it shows through his attention to detail. The amenities are great as well. We each have wonderfully large Mac monitors and Macbooks. We also have an allowance to purchase any educational materials as needed. The office is beautiful and well lit with natural sunlight. The kitchen is always stocked with snacks and coffee. A cleaning service makes sure everything is spic and spam weekly. This all makes for a very comfortable and uplifting environment.

Cons

Sometimes it feels that there are too many hands in the pot. Some minor things could get done faster if there was a linear system for critiques rather than a free-for-all to pipe in.

Hi. While we love to get feedback, I believe you have reviewed the wrong company. We do not employ any junior network administrators or have any employees in New Jersey.

Pros

Clearly the company is focused on being the best in class. This entails working with extremely talented people on extremely interesting projects. The priority is taking the time now to do the job right vs. taking short-cuts to meet a product release date. If you are good, the exposure and opportunity exists - you will learn a lot. The work environment can be intense but, if you are up for it that can be a good thing. The customer list is first tier which is a testament to the product quality. From the perspective of a sales person, being able to reference this customer list is a significant positive.

Cons

The CEO, who is by the way the company founder, is hyper-focused, driven and knows exactly what he wants/expects. He is extremely knowledgeable about finance, legal, sales, marketing and, of course, software. His experience is invaluable at times but, can also present a challenge for senior managers to do what they were hired to do. For a small company, you would sometimes expect it to be more nimble but, the heavy focus on quality and precision introduces a lot of structure and process. In the end, the structure and process is probably a good thing but, in the moment can appear unnecessary.
