A lot of promise, but concerned about its future

Pros

* Amazing group of talented, dedicated people to work with * Very cool product * Opportunities to work in nearly ever market * Opportunities to travel domestically and internationally * Part of an exciting, up and coming industry * Fun office environment * Remote work flexibility (especially if you're good at what you do) * Opportunities to define your own role (especially as your time with the company grows)

Cons

* Poor salaries, especially given the industry and the company's age * Additionally, asking for a compensation review is often met with a brush off and a sense that you ought to be happy to work at Four Winds * Terrible benefits (10 vacation days per year, lackluster health insurance, zero 401k matching, etc.) * Management that, at times, seems aimless and wandering with its strategies * A heavy, heavy focus on sales as "the good guy who makes the company money" and operations as "the bad guy who screws up everything we try to do" * Additionally, heavy focus on hiring individuals who can bring business in, but a lacking focus on hiring individuals who can deliver the projects * Many half-baked ideas that start as pet projects of higher ups and, 6 months later, find themselves in the garbage bin (after much headache, tension, and stress on the company to start implementing them) * Territorial environment where people unwilling to stand up for themselves often get run over

Very Negative Experience

Pros

Employees are dedicated but burnt out. Interesting product.

Cons

Employees leave weekly, management does not care. Process changes come every 3 months. Suggestions for improvement are nixed by mgmt. Excessive OT (12 to14 hour days) without compensation as discussed at hire. Hopelessly overcrowded office, no parking. Must have high billable time to customer projects, even if time is not available to bill against. Mgmt suggested to use weekends to work on non-billable items as a way to increase billable time.
