Pros

This place offers free beer and has a bunch of great people working on the IT and Pro teams. I think the office is stunning and a great place to host events.

Cons

The management has the worst training in place. They force people to post on LinkedIn and twitter. The owners are not engaged in the company whatsoever. Everyone gossips and stabs each other in the back. The base salary is horrible and the directors are the only ones who can make placements consistently. The favoritism is obnoxiously apparent.

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and certainly acknowledge that after a mere 5 years of “start-up” mentality, improvements will continue to be made. We foster an open-door environment where owners, team leads, and our peers are willing to listen and implement change - quite literally next day – when earnest ideas are put forth. We consistently encourage innovative ideas from our team and hope the feedback, negative or positive, would be made real-time so we can act upon it. Starting a company (any company) takes a lot of hard-work and long hours in order for us, and those around us, to be successful. We can only hope each individual recognizes the opportunities Swoon provides, knowing that hard work will be the driving force to get us there! We care about our employees and we want to improve, and while these reviews are anonymous – we’d love to offer more opportunity to take the conversation offline, feel free to email me at operations@swoontech.com to set up a chat.

Pros

Met a lot of really great people who I will most likely stay in contact with for several years to come outside of working at Swoon. I also learned a lot working there since everyone is extremely helpful despite how long they have been at Swoon. I felt very welcomed from the moment I joined the company, which was a great experience. I felt like everyone was there to help me along the way, no matter what!

Cons

The industry is extremely fast paced and it is a lot to take in for someone who doesn't have previous experience.
