passionate but unprofessional management

Pros

The people are smart, passionate, creative. Everyone means well. The pay is not competitive if you compare to a typical tech company but they aren't one. The benefits are pretty good.

Cons

A lot of the people working here are relatively inexperienced in what they do. This isn't necessarily bad, but this means management should be prepared to support. The project managers are typically ready to do this but sometimes can't. The cofounders have experience with design and tech but are inconsistent in their approach to dealing with people. They can be understanding and kind but also temperamental and unprofessional. Time seems to be managed poorly. Turnover rate is high.

Pros

I had an excellent job working at Periscopic as a junior developer. While there, I learned a huge amount about software development and launched my career, all while working on a wide range of interesting projects covering important subjects. The work I did there was really meaningful, and I was given important responsibilities as part of the team. The group is intelligent, friendly, and experienced. The company values and culture are great, and the work they do has a strong set of ethics behind it. For any person at any stage of their career, I think joining Periscopic would be a good choice.

Cons

I worked at Periscopic for just short of two years, and my experience there was overwhelmingly positive. I can't think of any cons worth mentioning.
