Vantaggi
- Small company means not much bureaucracy. Get to know all your coworkers and management. - Free snacks and drinks in the office. - PTO is decent especially for new hires.
Svantaggi
- Salary is way below market rate - common to hear about coworkers finding 2x (or more) pay bumps when they leave. - Inconsistent & hypocritical work-from-home rules. The CEO works from his cabin for weeks at a time, and a couple people are only in office three days a week. But the rest of the staff has to be in office every day, 8:30 to 5:30, unless they get approval, and to get approval you need a "valid excuse" like having a plumber coming or a sick kid. - AWFUL work-life balance. Being available to work evenings + weekends is always expected - you won't know you were supposed to be on-call on a Friday night until the CEO calls you demanding you work on something. If it's not a quick fix you're expected to pull an all-nighter. They don't pay NEARLY enough for 24/7 on-call. - High turnover, especially project managers. (They replied to another post saying average tenure is long - maybe technically true but very skewed by the small group of senior managers who have been there 20 years.) - Dull office setting - in the middle of an industrial park. Few amenities in the building besides a small cafeteria with an automated, understocked vending machine. (Almost never anyone in there.)
