Pros

This is a good company for someone who wants to waste their days away in a cold, dreary office with negative executives who constantly belittle their employees in the name of 'intensity'... Really good comp.. or it was, atleast. I'm pretty sure they've gotten worse since I left. Money isn't worth misery

Cons

Long work days - they expect you to work well past 5 PM and publicly shame if you don't They are revenue driven in the worst way They let people go constantly with very little insight into why - I left on my own, but know of multiple people who were cut off cold turkey for very little reason besides budget and reorg The CEO bullies and belittles employees constantly - and it WAY too involved in sales/engineering. Doesn't let the VPs do their job properly and confuses employees with back and forth If you value your personal life, I'd steer very clear of this place

Pros

- Excellent Leadership - Focussed Business Strategy - Upward Mobility within Company - Unlimited PTO - Company Culture Defined by Supportive Employees and Hard Work

Cons

This is a small company looking to grow. It requires a lot of grit and hard work. If you're just looking for a simple 9-5, this company probably won't be for you.

Pros

I've never worked with a more talented and highly driven group of people. This comes from the hiring practices, and frankly just the high standards of the CEO. I also received the most useful and fair performance reviews I have ever gotten while working here. While it was very challenging at times, I grew more in my time working there than any time in my career.

Cons

The work environment can be intense. It is not for everyone. But overall, if you want to be challenged, this would be a great place to learn.
