Pros

Comes off as a "cool tech startup", complete with a sweet office, free downtown parking, free lunch, unlimited time off and pretty good benefits.

Cons

Jutera Labs is a total bro-culture with no respect for their employees. If HR actually existed, management would be in violation on a daily basis. There is no work-life balance so don't plan on actually being able to take a vacation or enjoy your evenings, work is always expected to take precedence over all else, always. The environment has become so hostile and uncomfortable because of management so even when there are team building activities no one actually wants to be there.

Pros

Downtown parking was convenient, lunch was brought in daily, a pretty cool work space with nice desks--set up in a way that SHOULD promote collaboration.

Cons

The office space is open and bright, but the employees do not openly collaborate--let alone speak to one another. Much of the communication occurs online. In-person discussions are just not held in high regard here, as it is considered a waste of time. It is a very awkward work environment to spend 50+ hours a week in. Little to no organization when it comes to your projects. Many times I found myself working a project all the way through pre-launch stage, only to find an email (or sometimes no notification at all) saying "this was no longer a priority", wherein the project was dropped entirely. Wasted time. Always felt a sense of utter chaos. Felt constantly frenzied to ship comps with no clear direction of what the scope of a project was. Management does not make any effort to openly collaborate or engage their employees in areas where they are passionate. Really are just looking for button pushers who can ship their products with their vision in mind and no overarching goal.
