Great company culture. Explosive growth. Need more management
Pros
-Great new office... plenty of snacks.. alcohol friendly work environment (!!) -Very understanding and accommodating work environment. Employees seem to be genuinely happy and enthusiastic about what they do. -Extremely smart people working there... A great opportunity to knowledge share and branch out from your respective field if you so desire (see next point) -Plenty of 'lateral growth' -culture fosters project based work on the technical teams.. you can 'own' your projects. -two words: Quarterly Challenge! -Explosive growth
Cons
-Explosive growth is not sustainable and is artificial IMO. It seems to be more for company valuation for a potential sale, than for actual manpower need. -Technical infrastructure was designed when the company was smaller (a startup) and isn't scaling with the company's growth at all.. -Salaries are all over the place. Make sure you know your worth. They overpay some people and underpay others. - -Raises are completely arbitrary and the whole review/raise/bonus process is unrefined and nearly non-existent. That having been said, I'm sure certain 'old school', 'favored' people get them regularly. -Not enough testing of new solutions. Code it, toss it out there in production, pray nothing breaks. -Needs better mid level management. I almost feel people have too much latitude. -Some managers better than others; from nightmarish to awesome. -Honestly, not much vertical growth. Not sure if that's the company's fault or just the nature of a tech company in this field.
