Vantaggi

Nice location in downtown Iowa City.

Svantaggi

Be careful of the reviews you read. If you look at the dates, there was a massive influx of good reviews in a very short period of time to offset the bad reviews this company was getting. Want a hostile work environment where you will be demeaned and have your professional skills and experience insulted publicly, this is the place for you. The lack of professionalism is astounding. Work-life balance doesn't exist. There are absolutely no processes to speak of. If you're a project manager and you're trying to manage your client's project, be prepared to be told how to do your job by the software engineering department. They hold the power. Unprofessional behavior and harassment are acceptable here. If you're the kind of person who wants to do what they're told, and only what their told by the engineering staff, then this might be the place for you. If you want a opportunity to grow and really use your project management skills, run the other way as fast as you can.

Thank you for offering your feedback on your experience at Meta. We’re committed to creating an equitable, transparent and collaborative environment. Although it isn't clear from your review when you worked at Meta, I'm disappointed to hear about some of your experiences and I'd like to address your claims directly. First, the influx and timing of good reviews. Since 2015, Meta has almost doubled in size and we're on track to add another 40-50 people over the next calendar year. Looking at our reviews we have a mix of statements from current employees and former employees left over the course of a few years. It’s a stretch to say that the positive reviews were collected in an attempt to practice “damage control.” It could just as easily be said that the negative reviews were posted by a single person looking to maximize damage to the company’s reputation. Regardless, we take each person’s experience as a reflection of their unique perspective and time at Meta and view your feedback as a chance to learn and grow as a company. Second, your allegations of harassment and discrimination are very serious claims and certainly are not taken lightly. The environment you describe doesn’t correspond with our current culture or the company that we’re working to build. We have never been named in an employment claim, complaint or lawsuit and are striving to be an employer of choice at every level. If you are serious about your claims, please contact me directly so we can address them proactively. You can contact me at blong@meta-comm.com Bob Long President & CEO

Vantaggi

The work environment is a great place to learn the basics of a company's operations and working in an office. The internship was very helpful in developing my professional communication skills and comfortability within an office space. The hours were very flexible and the pay was good. Good learning space for interns and questions are encouraged. I was able to collaborate with almost every department of the company for a well-rounded learning experience.

Svantaggi

It is right in the downtown Iowa City area, so I ended up eating out a lot at the local restaurants.

Vantaggi

I'm a long-time former employee, and had I not decided to pursue my passions outside the software industry I would very likely be back at MetaCommunications. I've seen how a lot of companies function, and have owned/operated my own business as well. And from that perspective I can say MetaCommunications is a great place to work. Sure...they had some growing pains in the early years, but what company doesn't?

Svantaggi

I don't really have any Cons...but maybe a word of advice. If you have the drive and desire, and want the opportunity to become the best at what you do - whether it's programming, support, professional services, sales, marketing, or whatever - then MetaCommunications is a fantastic environment. If you want to become a true professional in your career, MetaCommunications is the place for you. If you are simply looking for a "job" where you come to work, put your time in, and nothing further with no real true ambitions or desires, then MetaCommunications may not be for you. And I say that for both your and the company's benefit. Seriously - look inside yourself, do some soul searching, and ask yourself what it is you really want to achieve in your professional career - if you have the inner passion, drive, and desire, then MetaCommunications will help you achieve it.
