Vantaggi
Solid business, great growth opportunities and plenty of smart people to help make good things happen. The company was acquired in 2015 and has changed a lot since then. Here is a quick summary: * We now have a benefits plan! * There has been significant growth in terms of team size and number of members and brands using the product. * We have a fancy office as of 2017. * Competitive salary opportunities but still a small company feel in terms of my ability to influence change, it's the best of both worlds. At times it can feel very large company such as when dealing with finance and legal as they're managed by the new head office, fortunately those times are few and far between for me. * Management has recently made some changes that have me feeling very positive about the future of the product. * Good work life balance in most areas of the company, it's not the kind of place where you're expected to work late nights or early mornings. I'm expected to do my job well and if I do that then I find I can enjoy my life outside of the office. * The business is still changing significantly, which is surprising to me given that my impression was that after many acquisitions innovation suffers. I feel like some of the new product lines that have been shown at "all staff" meetings are really pushing what is possible in this industry. The teams responsible have made amazing progress despite the industry being very antiquated. * No one is lazy, I know that might sound weird to say but it's a company of very reliable and hard working people that will support you in being successful.
Svantaggi
* Dealing with the acquiring company is less than ideal as they are pretty old school, but the founders have stuck around and are doing a good job managing the distractions. * At times it can be hard to get my thoughts on how to improve the product to become a reality, but with recent staff changes I've seen that improve.
