Growing upwards while still digging themselves into a hole.

Pros

A lot of the people who work here and aren't in management are very intelligent and interesting people. The products are well-received, and the company has continued growth, which is certainly something to be proud of. It's also a great learning environment - lots of collaboration and interest in sharing knowledge within different departments.

Cons

As others have stated, the owner (who recently fired the President and took over, out of the clear blue) very much does whatever he wants. There are large portions of the business that he does not understand, and makes no effort to. He is stubborn and has blinders on. As others have said, people are fired with little notice. In my time there, essentially the entire Design Department was let go - twice. The pay is fine, a little on the lower end, but with no job security, no communication, and no real leadership or direction, it wouldn't even matter if it was higher. Tons of micromanaging and favoritism. The company is expanding, but is going dramatically downhill at the same time.

Pros

Nice office, great location, good work-life balance. Coworkers are fantastic, hard-working and smart. Great products.

Cons

Total disconnect between upper management and employees, if you're not a favorite of the company president your opinions and expertise are completely dismissed. Good employees are arbitrarily fired while favorites that only get along with upper management hang on. Very political atmosphere leads to seemingly random decisions that nobody supports.

Pros

Good products, nice office, good fair benefits. Smart hardworking employees that care about the products.

Cons

Little training, expected to multitask everything, cookie cutter micro managers following practices of larger companies that have not had the same success. Owner doesn't seem to care who is fired. Employees are a dime a dozen. Most of us are looking to get out. Lots of pointing the blame on one person to save oneself.
