Pros

Located in downtown Chicago, plenty of space to work because everyone was fired or laid off.

Cons

Although this company is in an emerging field within the digital tech industry, this place is a graveyard where hopes and handwork go to die. Most upper management has their head in the clouds, and does not see the obvious cancer that is slowly killing their company. The platform is inherently unscalable, client success is a mess, sales are menial, and employee morale is at an all-time low. At one point this company was a fun and exciting place to work, unfortunately it has taken a turn for the worse with no signs of resuscitation. Worst of all this company has completely abandoned its own core values. Deception, dis-honestly, and intimidation are now commonplace. This company failed to scale with its 10 million dollar round of funding. This companies future will most likely end in a fire sale, with its pieces sold to only to a bidder foolish enough to purchase them.

Pros

A typical start-up that has gone through its peaks and lows. As other reviewers mentioned, the company has gone through a major restructuring to focus on key markets. For any startup, that's a necessary bitter pill to turn around and succeed. Pros are - Down to earth leadership team connects with all levels of employees. - Collaborative team that pulls itself together during challenging times. - The company is recently right-sized to its cost structure to become more agile and nimble. - The product and technology are getting better and a lot of foundational work is already done. - The company is focusing on a new market that is untapped and has the potential for robust growth.

Cons

- Need a balance of process vs flexibility. There are at times too much flexibility or too many processes in accomplishing goals. - Balance client priorities vs company strategy. - Product and technology still require some work to ensure that the product can compete and lead the market. - With fewer resources, need a focused approach to strategy and execution. - In the past, the company has hired people who may not be a good fit for the role.
