Pros

-Casual work environment. -High emphasis on culture and having fun together. -Attracts a lot of smart people with good ideas. -The product they sell is well thought out and developed.

Cons

-Their obsession on work culture ends up causing a toxic and co-dependent work environment. -The amount of overtime required with zero compensation (monetary or time in lieu) is completely criminal. -Communication with employees is non existent. -They encourage goal setting/planning and yet do not provide any kind of real support for achieving those goals. -The fact that there is no actual structure when it comes to top level management is to their detriment. Just ends up causing arguments amongst the founders. -Their employee turn over rate is astounding. -Employee compensation is wildly disparate and undervalue many. -They seem to think they are above their clients. -The founders attitudes and maturity level is akin to high school -Inter-office communication is extraordinarily racist, sexist and insulting that they actually have to wipe the chat history every day

Pros

some of the people are nice

Cons

in 2016 they had almost 20 employees and in 2017 they lost at least 9 of those employees. they overwork their employees and get angry when they won't work or answer emails afterhours. there is no flexibility for working arrangements. policies change on a whim. there is no QA team or person in this application company. they have immoral practices when it comes to clients and partners. the other posts on this were made by employees who were asked to post.

Pros

1 - The co-founders are smart, positive, outgoing and great leaders that make great decisions, they listen to you, and layout the expectations very plainly. It’s a company that cares about it’s people, product and customers, and a company with a culture, vision and values 2 - The Development team is very strong and collaborative, the most organized code base and team I’ve seen, the team is very well managed and given ample opportunities to learn and grow 3 - The co-workers are very welcoming and have a sense of humour, they know how to put their heads down and work, yet also have a little fun too 4 - The culture is about getting stuff done, learning and having fun, if this is your culture you will fit right in 5 - They do lunch and learns, conferences, books, etc. They walk the talk. All in all a great place to work.

Cons

- nothing I can think of
