Vantaggi
First off, this is an accurate review from an actual employee, unlike the obvious fabricated "positive" reviews planted by the owners, beneficiaries, and on-site investors. - This employer will teach you the value of a good company culture by exemplifying the opposite. - Passionate, talented coworkers (most of whom are unappreciated and overworked). - Projects with big licencor names. (Is it worth it? NO.)
Svantaggi
- Tyrant owners don't respect their employees enough to provide workflow structure, creating a perpetual, chaotic state of emergency that you will bear the weight of day-in, day-out. They refuse to grant time or authority to those they've hired as managers to establish procedures. The results are no boundaries, abusive, unrealistic, and constant contradicting demands on top of an already overbearing workload. - The fear-based managerial style has a trickle-down effect that permeates all relationships and interdepartmental communications within the company. You can cut the air with a knife. - No leadership, no direction, no support. They hire field experts to be middle managers only to strip them of any actual authority. - Toxic company culture, nepotism, top-down office bullying/gossip, defeated morale, rampant turnover. - The building itself is a nightmare. Overwhelming, noisy bullpen, overcrowded, not enough desks to seat all of their employees, no offices for private meetings, no parking. After commuting in they advise you to park across the other side of town where it floods. I can't make this stuff up. - Insulting compensation considering the cost of living and workload demands. There is nothing redeeming about working for this company. - What you have here is a business managed by a handful of elite, virtue signaling socialites who lack the ethic to address failing internal relations of a company that has exceeded the bounds of a trust-fund hobby. For years on end they describe their own operations as "dysfunctional" but to outsiders they sell this as "growing pains" or "opportunity for experience." The truth is it's a terrible, depleting place to work and they blame the employees as somehow being deficient.
