Pros

- Smart, courteous, talented and professional employees - Admirable company initiatives - Office has a roof - Unlimited PTO

Cons

- Culturally this isn't the same company as when I started - Overstocking of management (about a third of the company is filled by a manager or VP). Kind of concerning... - No clear roadmap of where Unified is heading - Transparency issues from upper management. - Very cramped office (the pump room is located in the lobby) - Hiring concerns regarding nepotism

Pros

- Great coworkers - Location (right in midtown) - Latest and greatest macbook pros - Beer and snacks in the kitchen - Culture & flexibility

Cons

- Unified has lost a ton of business over the past few months and as a result, has had to reduce their workforce drastically and I don't see it getting any better anytime soon - Very low pay - The ad operations team is very young with low 20 somethings managing accounts, which causes a lot of frustration - Constant and unnecessary meetings/ standups - They love to add unnecessary work on top of the massive workload the employees already have - Managers gossip.. a lot. It almost feels like you are constantly being tattled on

Pros

Once they got a CTO, he was pretty good. They hire a lot of bootcamp graduates, so you get to work with junior programmers from lots of backgrounds. The are a broad variety of open-source technologies in use.

Cons

The CEO managed by yelling and intimidation. Several other managers followed suit. QA was pressured to accept everything. Automated testing was suppressed or ignored. Failing tests were regularly removed rather than investigated. Code quality discussions were limited to whether indenting and line length met the style guidelines. Code structure and maintainability was secondary to writing in job security. Time pressure was such that broken code that looked like it worked was shipped regularly. Security was ignored or actively defeated by developers. Basic security practices were dismissed as too much hassle. The most talented and promising people tend to leave, because there doesn't seem to be another way to advance.
