Pros

Excellent health insurance. I loved the work. Tech start up has good potential. Employees work really hard to serve the customer, high level of quality output.

Cons

Very little positive feedback. Male chauvinism. Good old boys network cloaked under tech start up screen. Women expected to answer phones and greet customers even if male employee is closer to the retail area. Multimillionaire CEO has no filter. Employees are asked to work on a shoestring. Simple industry practices and software could improve quality without huge expense. Office chairs bought at Walmart. Out of nowhere, my male manager asked me “why don’t you like me?” Same manager made degrading ethnic jokes about Hispanic guy. Not cool.

Pros

I negotiated a decent salary and, at the time, the team that worked there was great.

Cons

This company has failed. In three years the company has failed to garner a solid user base. Rather than admit that there is no market for the product, the CEO purchased a business with a larger customer-base and rolled them into Forever to bolster the quarterly numbers. Once that showed signs of struggling, rather than traditional marketing, he pushed a move to Multi-Level Marketing. Make no mistake, Forever is a Pyramid scheme. Having worked first hand on the technology, the claim of Forever as 'permanent' photo storage is dubious. The direction the Engineering team is headed, it won't be long until things fall apart. The decisions about the technology that support the Forever guarantee are decided between a CEO at the top who is clueless about tech, and an ego-inflated tech lead who has no real-world experience in building the kind of applications that can support such an endeavor. Anyone interested in working there needs to know that nearly every engineer that is working there today was not there 6 months ago. The turnover rate is atrocious because on the surface Forever looks so great and has a great vision, but from the inside it is one of the most poorly run companies I have EVER worked for. The problems start at the top with the CEO, who has gotten as far as he has by talking, not delivering.
