Very Different Work Environment

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food all day long! Great benefits and a very fast-paced environment. Employees are given freedom and they have flexibility. Management is not in your face all the time but they expect you to come up with the goods. If "they" like you then you're set.

Cons

Be careful because if you make one false step you will be put out on your ear and you are shunned for life. I know a few folks that did the wrong thing and they paid for it with their reputations. Forget references. Loyalty is #1 at this company but if Management expects loyalty they have to give an employee a reason to stay. Salaries are not competitive.

Mediocre - not a technology company

Senior software developer

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay Stable job in a recession Excellent benefits Great workplace - awesome building, amazing snacks, summer party and perks Very helpful and knowledgeable peers Software ownership - you own the product you develop Fast paced client facing software development

Cons

Incompetent middle management - suffers from tunnel vision and tends to bully Lots of fault finding - little credit given Software/architecture is ancient A lot of mediocre proprietary software which is essentially re-inventing the wheel Unemployable elsewhere after a few years Fairly long work hours - flex-time/work from home not encouraged though they exist on paper Few, if any, opportunities for professional growth. After 5 years as a developer you maybe promoted to team lead. Not a technology company - started by a trader for traders run by wannabe traders.
