Pros

Will hire just about anyone with a pulse

Cons

Do you your homework, folks-- the CEO is literally out of Hollywood (he has an IMdb page), will make you believe whatever story he decides to tell about the company. Elemental does not have a clear business plan and the company's product line, industry focus, and target demographic will pivot constantly. This company couldn't hack it in the Bay Area with REAL innovative tech companies, so it had to move to Reno. Many decisions are made with gut instincts with disregard to data and financial statements. This is likely due to the immature management and leaders. Layoffs and department restructuring has greatly hindered morale. Will be shocked if this company is still in business by the end of 2019.

Great co-workers, decent salary, good mentorship

Management did several turnovers during my time so it was a bit chaotic, but they handled it with grace.

Pros

** Good benefits (401K, healthcare, Discretionary Time Off (DTO), decent work life balance, generous snacks and meals, opportunities for career advancement, etc.) ** Awesome coworkers (you will likely make friends who you want to hangout with outside of work). ** Great facilities (renovated office, cool artwork, clean and vibrant spaces, etc.)

Cons

** Top heavy management w/ a decent amount of nepotism (you are either "in" or "out" of the circle, and if you are "out", you will have a hard time being promoted or moving laterally) ** Micromanagement or complete incompetence from the c-suite, not really anything in between. The middle management (although top heavy) is the backbone of the company. ** Emotional decision making from leadership, not usually grounded in data or logic. ** Pay can be on the lower side because "we know we can pay less since the culture is great".
