Pros

Open Kitchen, Free Lunches on Friday.

Cons

PLEASE BEWARE! If you find your way through the application process and accept their below market value offer, you’ll be ushered (often without choice) into one of two directions; the XYZ domain registry side or the payday loan media conglomerate of the business. The company is notorious for hiring and promoting friends and family over those seemingly more qualified for the open positions. The environment and culture that is preached from the top down is one of 60 hour work weeks, unaccountability, nepotism, lack of trust and disrespect for the team. This behavior trickles down to middle-management and employees frequently suffer the consequences. This helps explain the high-employee turnover with a team of 30 people 2-3 leave every month be greener pastures. The other positive reviews listed stating they will “listen” or that they are "customer focused" and there is "room to get involved" are comically fake. You can be 'promoted' by title one day and have all responsibilities pulled by the time you get back on Monday. Do not, under any circumstance, think this will be anything but an abusive professional relationship.

Thanks for taking a moment of your day to let us know how your experience was. We would like to start off by apologizing to you for not meeting your expectations. Our hope is that every person that walks through our doors as an employee or even a candidate would walk out having felt our passion and desire to be nothing short of the best. You have the right impression of us from the standpoint that we do work hard. While we acknowledge that not every company is for every person, I’m not exactly sure how you got “30 people …. 2-3 leave every month” type of figures. Factually speaking, we can assure you that this is not the case.

Pros

Because it's in Santa Monica, there are some talented minds that come through here. Lime is an interesting cafeteria across the street that has a good variety of food.

Cons

Immature megalomaniacs for leadership. This company could be so good if leadership weren't chasing away all the smart minds. The only ones who stick around or those that can't find a well paying job elsewhere. It's sad. Even HR's hands are tied and act as mere puppets to the leadership. Don't go to HR with "confidential" issues because, like I said, puppetry. If you're in mild disbelief of this, just go to LinkedIn, find past employees, and ask ANY of them. Do your research before joining organizations that lure you in and then abuse you, hoping that codependency is their retention strategy.

Hey, thanks for dropping in and leaving us some valuable feedback. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your time with us. I would say it's safe to assume that not every situation is the best fit for everyone. I hope you did find something that better aligns with your work style. As for the turnover, we're actually pretty good compared to the rest of the tech industry. Having said that, we won't stop striving to be a lot better. We don't like comparing ourselves to other tech companies as much as our high self-imposed standards. I'm glad you enjoyed the snacks and the lunches, especially the tacos. If you ever have the time to do so, please drop in and say hello again. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you with next steps in your career.
