Pros

No micro-managing, flexible time off and many great people. The company is remote based and expects employees to be self-motivated and to need little to no hand holding. You're given clear expectations, a deadline and the ability to do what needs to be done unhindered. Gideon has learned from past mistakes, both projects and types of employees, and is moving towards a bright future.

Cons

Leadership refuses to acknowledge when one of their own isn't being held to the same standards as the rest of the employees and will allow it to deteriorate to the point of mutiny.

Pros

No one micromanages you, no tracking of days or time off, they care about you and your family

Cons

Because no one manages you, they only hire people who are self motivated which is great for the team members who are and bad for those who can’t do their own work without being managed. Those don’t last here.

Pros

- No micromanaging, people who can't work independently wouldn't do well here. Other reviews say that the owner or managers are out of touch, but it's just that they expect you to do your work without needing babysitters. They are very involved but don't look over your shoulder. Everyone pulls their weight and if they don't, they are probably the ones leaving nasty reviews - don't track vacations or time off, flexibility and goes along with their trust in us to manage our own time with our teams - strong teams, I love my team and the people I deal with from the folks at my base to the ones in the office - good people, just good hard working people. There are sometimes challenges with different personalities but that's everywhere - repeat customers, we do cool work for a handful of repeat clients all around the world - good management, they had their challenges in the past but things seem to be going along pretty smoothly this year

Cons

The company is very specific about the traits that they value, so if you can't work independently or need extra hand holding, this would not be a great fit. Although they do mentoring, there isn't a ton of training. They do provide good health benefits, paying 90% of the employee, a 401K and a flexible PTO policy.
