Vantaggi

Constantly changing projects with short timelines makes for perfect startup atmosphere potential. A few connections to local startups. Recognized brand in the app marketplace space.

Svantaggi

Dishonest business practices. High expectations of employee hours (including nights, weekends, holidays), without proper compensation. Extremely low respect for employees, with high expectations for output - seems like they are looking for people they can use up, not work with and respect. immature, inexperienced management. Underlying culture of mistrust of workforce, with management always quick to second guess. Compensation increase was over-promised on overly optimistic company goals that weren't being hit (and still haven't been). "Full coverage" of health insurance promised during interview and hiring process ended up only being 50% coverage, with a $4,000 co-pay. Dishonest about situations where the company would come out looking very bad. Example: Dishonest about departure of employee internally as well as with professional contacts.

There are many reason why a professional relationship do not work out. As with romantic relationships, sometimes things end amicably and sometimes people are left feeling hurt. This was clearly the later, and so I'd strongly advise that the emotion and points here be taken with a grain of salt. People typically say some rather hurtful things when they are upset. The second thing I'd like to note is that 3 years ago, the company was younger, less mature, and while much of this review is hurtful and untrue just for the sake of "sticking it to the man", there are some great points in here which have been taken into account and improved over the last 2-3 years. Always happy to discuss more in person.
