Pros

The people that work here are generally very nice and hardworking people.

Cons

This is by far one of the most disorganized organizations I had ever worked for and in my opinion this place wont last very long since they have approx ZERO customers. Upper management does everything they can to ensure that they collect a bonus at the end of the year while giving false promises to their employees. The company and CEO rave about the growth of the company "from 10 people to 100" or the possible 200 that they currently have; yet there is no mention that upwards of 80 of the employees are contractors that are paid the bare minimum on a job that is not permanent by any means. Both the CEO and "president" are extremely arrogant and unprofessional in their comments; whether these comments are political (yes- along the lines of "you can only work here if you believe XYZ") and just plain unprofessional. The mentality of the organization is buy or be bought, which is explained in very little details to the employees that are all between the ages of 20 and 25 and don't understand the concept of losing their job when "bought" because there is beer in the fridge at work and snacks in the kitchen. If you decide to work here be prepared to be on call 24/7. The offer letter states 60 hours a week and they mean it. There are no work phone, plan on using your own for work related calls and not being reimbursed. If you have to travel, plan on sharing a room with another co worker. Also plan on being screamed at and insulted if things don't go as planned. I actually remember just speaking with the HR person (casually; not a complaint) about how rude the CEO is and she replied "yeah, he makes me cry all of the time".

Pros

Working with Weather Analytics, now Athenium Analytics, is engaging, transparent, and fast-paced. One of the most exciting chapters in my professional career, the company is growing, dynamic and welcoming.

Cons

This is a place for those willing to step out of their comfort zones and grow.

Pros

The people who you interact with every day (aka the foot soldiers) are amazing, passionate people. Definitely love what they do, put everything they have into it. You have a chance to be free with your work ideas, pitch things that in a big company would never be allowed. Fast moving up the ladder (if you aren't cut) since no one is around for long. Work time is pretty lenient if there's not an immediate deadline, which helps with the random things life throws at you.

Cons

The management is a cluster. An absolute mess. No one knows how to tell a client no, and there is so much insider politics going on you'd think you were working in Congress. Some super long nights and days trying to complete a project on deadline, only to have another "fire drill" the next day. Complaints about working conditions, improvements to the system or ideas that aren't already being considered will be brushed off. Starting salary for the area is a joke. Some of the fun nights were really just excuses to stay later at the office. Telework days were often revoked with little notice for some deadline.
