Pros

beautiful office spaces, snacks, soda, decent benefits, some great co-workers and people who work really hard. CEO seems to be a decent guy who, at least, used to be interested in its employees (I don't believe he knows what's going on within the company).

Cons

Hopeless management with little concept of people management and development skills with no clear objectives. Favoritism, nepotism and clicks is your daily bread. Absolute lack of integrity even though it's in their core value. If you want to advance, get promoted or be in a good stand, you better join the club. Some of the high rating recent reviews here are written by the recruiters that they had hired because there is a problem with retention. Engineers and Architects-it's a short game for you here. Most of us leave within a year. Though I have to say that I met here one of the greatest co-workers in my career.

Pros

- The company feels essentially like a new company (startup-like) but with existing money in the bank to fund growth of the refined vision and new product. - Good for career growth and plenty of opportunities to pick up new skills and responsibilities. For me, personally, this has been a good place to grow leadership skills. - Interesting and exciting product (CrossChannel™ Platform is the one I work on) and SaaS development - The cloud engineering teams utilize modern technologies and practices like Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code, Docker, Google Cloud Platform, monorepos, Python, Java, etc. - Development is not hindered by slow release cycles. We utilize a form of Scrumban as our product development methodology. - Intelligent, fun, and pleasant co-workers - CEO is attentive when you talk to him, regardless of your role. This was a drastic change from my time at IBM where even my director was less attentive than AllClear's CEO. - Flexibility with work/life balance - Travel opportunities, especially to the other office in Oslo, Norway - Pay is competitive - Nice office

Cons

- In the current stage of the company, you will need to wear multiple hats, which can be a con for some. - It took longer than I think it should have to re-focus the company into the current direction and product, but as of now it's going in the right direction and trend. - Need to be comfortable with the risks and unknowns of a company/startup with a runway - Sales team is in very early stages
