Pros
- Very minimal guidance and structure allows you freedom to essentially define your own duties and responsibilities
Cons
- No structure whatsoever. Guidance and expectations are not set, check-ins don't happen. Communication is not valued, prioritized, or utilized. - Horrible, non existent work-life balance. You are expected to be on call at all times of day, even once you no longer work for the company. Several people who left were contacted multiple times by the CEO for assistance. -Poorly managed technical support. -Incredibly high turnover due to terrible morale and atrocious management. - Unfriendly to women and minorities. Female engineers and support staff are paid considerably less than their male counterparts, despite being equally or more qualified. 99% of the workforce is white male. Most notably, they knowingly continued to employ an outside contractor who repeatedly harassed permanently employed women and other groups in the workplace while openly speaking out about his distaste for anyone that wasn't a white male. Management turned a blind eye and ignored complaints from multiple people until he physically threatened a female director. - Pay is not competitive for the market. Terrible benefits that each year decrease more and more. - CEO avoids confrontation and refuses to address issues, preferring instead to hide out in his office until the everyone has cleared out for the evening.
