Pros

- Great office in a great area - Ballston has lots of great restaurants. - The offices are pretty cool and I love the open office area - Very casual dress code - Everyone that works there is very nice, smart, and dedicated to their work. - Being a part of a growing company is very exciting. - The work is super interesting and feels very important.

Cons

Almost every woman was fired within three months. They'll say there's a low turnover, and that may have been true a while ago, but that's not true any longer. Terrible project management process - they're trying to reinvent the wheel needlessly. Pleasing the CEO is the most important thing and he is very prone to radical changes in directions and tantrums. Health benefits are terrible as well - very expensive and very limited.

Fonteva Response

We're sorry that your experience at Fonteva was not ideal. As a start-up tech environment, we have had changes as expected in a fast-growing company. We are happy to report that, unlike the norm in the tech sector, Fonteva has about a 50-50 male-female ratio. The same ratio is reflected in our turnover rate, which is also below industry average. Of all 2016 departures, only 2 were within 3 months; 1 voluntary, 1 not. We continue to improve processes as well as benefits on an ongoing basis--unfortunately the latter is subject to the whims of the Affordable Care Act market & our company size. We continue to see improvements as our employee size grows. The CEO’s aim is to please customers, employees and investors; therefore all employees’ role is to support him in this endeavor. We sincerely hope you've moved on to a company that is your ideal match. Best wishes.
