Positive Outlook
Approves of CEO

Pros

The company will reward you for the work and efforts you put in. They make you feel like part of the ownership. A lot of effort was put into the up front documentation to make projects run smoothly.

Cons

The work is demanding. You will sometimes run 2 or 3 projects at a time. However, the company is very accommodating. Don't be afraid to speak up when you have too much going on.

Advice to Management

It might be beneficial to have time management workshops with your managers. With multiple projects, even good managers will struggle with this.

    Interview

    Applied through campus career fair. After about 2-3 rounds of phone/video interviews I was asked to come into one of their offices for an in-person interview. This was a lengthy, several-hour interview process with multiple office personnel, and lunch out included. After a great and surprisingly laid back process, they had told me that they would be getting back to me within a week and before another deadline I had with another job offer. The deadline had passed, and I still had yet to hear back from anyone. I had to reach out several times before they finally told me that they were moving on with other candidates. A little unprofessional, especially considering their ignorance of my other deadline. I also would've loved to hear some feedback on my performance.
