Pros

* Great culture full of people that are both friendly and talented * Amazing premium-less medical, dental. and vision coverage * A culture that fosters learning and self-improvement * Fun engineering challenges that allow you to really make a difference using your creativity.

Cons

* Located in a neighborhood currently in the throes of gentrification. Parking is a constantly worsening nightmare, and our reserved parking lot is multiple blocks away from the office. Constant road construction is making the commute even worse. * Office is getting a little overfilled after recent hirings. * No 401(k) match. This sucks.

Not sure about the one star review...

Pros

I see below that someone left a one star review regarding sustainability of the company. Not sure what this person's definition of sustainability came from, but both financially and operationally, I am very impressed by the growth of the company. There are so many talented smart individuals who genuinely care about the product and business. This company has a bright future ahead.

Cons

There needs to be a bigger space soon to keep up with growing number of employees. The space appears to be getting a bit tight.

Pros

* An incredible culture that empowers individuals to make an impact on the company and to seek out ways to improve both the day-to-day business and the long-term direction of the company. * As a small company transitioning from a custom development shop to a product focused company, Oblong offers plenty of career opportunities and experience building a company up from the ground floor. * Plenty of client-facing work opportunities with a number of major Fortune 500 companies. * Incredible health benefits and solid compensation, including opportunity for equity. * Three meals a week with a plentiful source of snacks.

Cons

* Slow to form a complete management team but has course corrected and now has a capable and focused team in place. CEO change resulted in a better focus for the company. * As with any small company, an individual better be ready to dig in and work hard. Oblong is looking to shake up the world of computing, so the work is challenging and requires commitment -- be ready to get your hands dirty!
