IT Manager / Lead Systems Administrator
Pros
* Glassdoor is an amazing place to work. I have worked for startups for over a decade now, and the culture is amazing. I can say many companies try to achieve what Glassdoor has with regards to culture, but they just don't quite take it seriously enough. But you have to give to receive. You have to contribute to the culture to reap the rewards. You will be culled if you aren't contributing with your heart and mind. This is because they take the culture of the company as well as it's success very seriously. * I was given plenty of room to prove my merit and was promoted several times during my tenure. * The compensation was without compare. * Free Lunch, Gym, Arcade, Game Room and more. * Great facilities in the corporate office * They don't skimp on resources. This aren't afraid to buy you good, high end equipment to ensure you can get your job done. * They are fast paced and get things done. * Great leadership. The company has rarely not delivered on what is says it's going to do. They deliver the roadmap, and unless there is a good reason to deviate, they don't.
Cons
* If you aren't ready to give it your all this place isn't for you. It's a culture of hard work and hard play. Sometimes it can be a bit daunting, as it's full of driven successful people. * Communication can be difficult in a startup environment. Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing, but this is very common in growing companies, so it's more a just be aware thing. During busy sprints, you may have to send communications a few times to get through as people are very busy.
