Pros

A great vision and product, when the company first launched, there wasn't anyone else out there that could perform in the same way AgilOne could, but the big cloud providers have now caught up Free beer keg, as well as lunches provided 3 times a week.

Cons

The place really does appear to be the CEO's personal playground. Senior management creates little cliques for the people they like and totally alienate the people they don't. There is zero culture here. you are expected to work late, and if you are ever allowed to take PTO, you are expected to work remotely, even when on maternity leave. Very 'hire & fire' culture. The turnover rate is very high. CEO seems to shoot from the hip and make rash decisions (opened a UK office, closed it within a year) The product is difficult to implement, and a lot of clients leave within 12 months due to the very poor experience

Everyone is entitled to their opinion so I won't address those other than to wonder why you are still working here if it is so horrible. Makes me wonder if that claim is true. Some falsehoods I would like to address: You are not expected to work when on PTO, and certainly not just after having a baby. That is illegal and if even a portion of that is true in your case, you should raise that to HR immediately. 'Very hire & fire culture' - Not true. Engineering, for example has had many hires and no fires in the past year+. 'a lot of clients leave within 12 months' - Not true. Our churn rate is actually very low. If I am wrong and you really are a current employee I would suggest you raise these issue to your manager, HR or even me and let's address them and start making things better for you. But just bashing your company with unfounded lies while you continue to work here doesn't make much sense to me. Now stop reading glassdoor and get back to work :)

Pros

We have a great engineering team with lots of smart,intelligent and friendly people. Everyone is helpful and engineering leads are always supportive and very good mentors. Many things have changed since I joined this company but I always had a chance to work on cool projects and always found the support to improve myself to be a better developer. We always design,plan and develop as a team and everyone expected to participate technical discussion. Everyone’s opinion matters and respected. This place is just for you if you are an ambitious engineer who wants a challenge and also if you are willing to work with new technologies and learn new things every day. Unlike other start-ups in the bay area, it’s a pretty easy going environment. If you don’t need to be driven by some manager and ready to take responsibilities. It’s a good place to work. Work-life balance is a big issue for most of us, in AgilOne, people really respect it! Engineering team is result driven so work hours, or time off’s to run errands never been an issue as long as you’re an honest and serious professional Company provides lunch 3 times a week and there are plenty of different options to pick. If you don't like it, you can order something else the next day. Happy hours, camping and ski trips, baby showers, picnics , bbq dinners, Christmas gifts, team events, company events, parties are all organized by AgilOne. I'm happy to be part of this big family and always excited to work on this great product.

Cons

- Sometimes you are on your own to solve issues. - more engineers needed. - should provide better benefits. - requires very good communication skills
