Pros

If you get ”in” with the upper management, that will be beneficial to you. The CEO is in town every few weeks. If it were more than that, the entire company would fold. It’s really entertaining to observe the CFO do his “bed checks” and take himself seriously. Excluding most of upper management, the people who work there are great. It’s a small family (trying to survive a doomed company)

Cons

I have worked here for years. I can PROMISE that any review on here with a high rating is forged. I know this because I’ve seen fake reviews written to offset the companies poor rating. The CEO, Paula Tompkins will berate you in the most aggressive and embarrassing way you will ever be treated. Her belligerent disrespect for employees AND clients is really something you have to see to believe. Many clients have been lost solely because they cannot stand her. The CFO (Mama’s Boy), Eric Petersen has nothing to do and it shows. He uses 30% of his day going up and down the halls conducting “bed checks” to ensure everyone is in their seat. God forbid you are in a meeting or the bathroom. He will report directly to Paula or your direct manager with his “findings”. I refer to him as “Mama’s Boy” because when Paula is in town, he likes to do ANYTHING he can to please her. Especially when it involves yelling at people for no reason. When she is gone he feels he runs the place. He is the most power hungry loser you’ll ever work for. Those who currently work here are probably laughing their socks off with the accuracy of this post. I promise I am not doing this to bash the company for no reason. These are the facts and they are not pretty. If you are smart, you will deeply consider what I and others have said.

Pros

This is a company that is very entrepreneurial and fast moving where your contributions are noticed, appreciated and rewarded. It's a great mix of disciplines: creative, UX, development, etc. and hires some really solid people that care about their work product, and each other. I can't say enough good things about the people. I consider everyone here a personal friend. Incredible, challenging environment with great opportunity for personal and professional growth. Fun and friendly management for the most part. Strong female representation in management. The CEO is a hard-charging digital pioneer. Head of Ops, another female, keeps the place together and is always accessible and available to help clear obstacles or just hear you out. Overall great work/life balance compared to just about everywhere I have worked!

Cons

The company has experienced rapid growth and some of the issues that come with that...thus, some of the disgruntled formers you see on here (some people are apparently just born angry and disgruntled). Overall these issues have been balanced out in the time I've been here and some of the people that can't cut it are no longer there. We gotta keep being selective about the types of personalities we hire!
