Pros

None whatsoever. It was a fairly short drive from my house I guess. Literally nothing positive to say about this place though.

Cons

Company is unorganized. Owner motivates by fear. Employees are underpaid in all positions. I could go on.

Pros

- None other than the warm aesthetics of the small office.

Cons

- The fundamental problem with this corporation lies within the management structure, which begins and ends with the CEO. - The CEO expresses that he does not micromanage - but this seems to only be his attempt to rationalize his insecurity on how transparently he nitpicks areas out of his expertise. - It is highly evident that the CEO is employing a model that harbors high turnover rates...he attracts talent for as cheap as possible and extracts as much work out of the talent before they become overwhelmed. He repeats this process in order to keep human capital costs low. - The CEO is noted for saying "Well, that's what you think you are worth." - very condescending. - The CEO outright lies to clients and potential hires - examples include unrealistic project timelines and falsely telling interviewees they will come in again for another meeting. - The work environment leads to a high level of resignations due to unethical agenda items and an unnecessary amount of stress.

Pros

Met some good people and learned a lot wearing so many hats. The work itself could be engaging and challenging. There is opportunity to share your skills and knowledge with interns as well. Clientele tended to be pretty high quality.

Cons

Where to start... - When the programmers quote out a project, the CEO bullies the programmers into agreeing to faster turn-around times. When the programmers turn out to be right and the project comes in late, the CEO blames the programmers. - See other reviews for accurate statements about CEO behavior. - Constant employee turnover. - Pay and benefits are lackluster at best, given that you have to deal with all of the above.
