Pros

The benefits are great... Working for a few other companies after college and then coming here. You can tell this place is progressive. The pay seems to be worth the squeeze. Transparency is pretty good around here. You should know working for a new company is going to be challenging and frustrating at times, but the payoff at the end is what makes it all worth it. Payoff in being what you learned and what you can use for the future. You need to take a big picture approach when it comes to thinking about working here. It is ok, it is not for everyone. The culture should not change either if this place decides to go public all C-Team personnel have already worked for publicly traded companies which means they don't have to leave.

Cons

The place could be a bit more clean and organized, sad but true as adults not everyone cleans up their own messes. The training dept is growing and learning, so at times you will be tasked to take initiative and learn on your own. If you have a hard time doing that, don't apply.

Pros

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Cons

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.

Pros

Remote. Great people. Decent benefits. Nice work/life balance.

Cons

Subpar pay. Lack of career growth and stability. Upper management and leadership are heavily disconnected from the core product. They want to "AI" their core platform just because everybody else is doing it but they have no clear direction / solution that makes sense. They sign contracts for services that they don't vet fully and cause headaches for tech support. They mask "reorgs" with surprise layoffs.
