Pros
Flexibility and freedom with a healthy dose of micromanagement. The St. Louis office has fun people, some smart sand some not. Lots of free junk food and sugary beverages Midwest style. Occasional happy hours and random celebratory parties. Unlimited sick days, which is frowned upon for you taking.
Cons
Extremely uncommunicative and irresponsible management. Its not unusual to have emails go unanswered for months due to trying to avoid a decision making paper trail. Borg like behavior with free thinkers shunned if not marching to the beat of the Borg drum. Management can never be questioned, especially with regards to their ideas. Management takes credit for ideas and submits them as their own. Heavy micromanagement environment. There really is no management at all. Promotions are handed out for management but mangers avoid managing.Business run on antiquated platforms due to resistance with investing more money back into the technical platforms. If your not in a St. Louis gang grew - your considered expendable. Promised IPO, but no chance of the company ever going IPO due to the clickbait revenue masking nature of the base company. Senior management busy working on their golden parachutes and do not care about the overall workforce. False appearance of a startup company. Just because your allowed to wear flip-flops and shorts, doesn’t make you a startup like company.
