Pros

When I first started there were intelligent developers, middle management that understood development, and a VP of engineering while willing to throw developers under the bus was also willing to say "no" to the owner.

Cons

Failed to hire or even address a VP of engineering for 2+ years. Owner distrusted and frequently blamed engineering for many problems. Owner is not willing to provide the tools to allow the developers to do their jobs, nickel and dimeing for hardware, while still demanding timely work. The owner decided to transition to Agile and in doing so hired people to make the transition in such a way that talent was hemorrhaged at an alarming rate. In ability to advance, for much of my time at the company, your title was based solely on your number of years experience versus whether one fit the description of title.

Great Company / Bad Management

Pros

Great company overall. Very friendly staff. Very laid back atmosphere. Jeans every day. Flex schedules. Free lunches every day. Gym, ping pong tables, basketball goal, and sand volleyball. Opportunities to give back to the community. Fun events during the holidays.

Cons

Very little PTO. No onboarding or training. Terrible management. Lack of communication. Managers like to claim the success for all the hard work the employees put in, but they refuse to take accountability for anything when things don't go exactly the way they want. There is a lot of finger pointing. Changes to plans are made without notification to applicable parties and stakeholders. HR is horrible!! There is no one you can talk to when you have an issue that needs to be addressed. Policies and procedures only apply to some. If you aren't part of the "click", you will be targeted.
