Vantaggi
Great office, talented staff, phenomenal client list, interesting/unique projects you can brag about, fully stocked kitchen - high quality, organic food and beverages.
Svantaggi
Egotistical, micro-managing owners who expect you to kill yourself for the glory of working at Downstream. Blind to the amount of work staff puts in. Management literally took away a week of PTO claiming it was a financial decision - probably was, but who cares? it's unethical to go back on an employment contract. This decision was not set right when company was again awash in projects. Account management team makes insane promises to customers in order to get them to sign on the dotted line - completely disregarding company's ability to deliver and introducing artificial stress into an already challenging environment. Huge turnover in every department. Constant, pervasive lack of creative leadership - which makes projects like rudderless ships lurching through the high seas. With one exception, uniquely incompetent accounting department. Ton of money lost via horrible billing practices.
