Pros
The value of this company was teaching me what it takes to make it in an environment like Utilant's. Let me explain. They hire on the cheap, most people don't know what they're doing, and the training is non-existent. But I was transitioning away from sales, so the very sour experience I had at Utilant was a great educator. I'm at a way better company, earning way more money, and it wouldn't be possible with the school of hard knocks which was Utilant. So I'm actually grateful. The non-management people were great. Free lunch and casual dress code were great. It was a great education in agile devops. Both in how to do it and how not to do it.
Cons
I'm not going to sit here an insult anyone or trash everything. The other reviews here tell the story. Most managers including those in the C-suite aren't good leaders, possibly aren't good people, lack people skills and emotional intelligence, and could really use some perspective - like a board of directors made of people who are actually experienced and successful in managing a software company. Shout out to the QA and Tech Support Manager - they were great. But overall, there's no accountability and they need some. Going to need to spend some money on some talent, and beef up the workforce; not enough labor to meet commitments. That hurts everyone from the devs, the account managers and especially the customers. They recently got some outside investment, so maybe this will be the catalyst to really change things.
