Pros

Can work distributed/remote if you want. Mostly you get left alone once you earn your stripes. Cell phone bill reimbursement is kinda cool.

Cons

Website hasn't been updated since 2004. Way low salary for SF Bay Area. No salary transparency or consistency and no clarity on what you can do to get a raise or what the pay bands are. No consistent COL adjustments. Zero work-life balance: your vacations, wedding days, honeymoons, bereavement, you name it, it will be interrupted with a fire drill and you will be called until you pick up. Cheap, low quality equipment to use. Company doesn't provide tools or cables, you're expected to purchase, though if you can bill it back to a client, you can probably get reimbursed. Office location is extremely inconvenient, much easier to avoid going in if at all possible. Easier to hotel out of client sites, and they tend to have better food. Clients can be extremely abusive, management sides with them as long as they pay their bills. Hemorrhaging clients, not clear if they will be able to survive much longer in an extremely competitive market.

Pros

In the face of a rapidly changing Information Technology Service landscape, MicroMenders remains at the forefront, by evolving our service offering and solution set to meet clients' business objectives and encourage their growth. The company encourages upward growth and mobility from within, and all employees have the ability to shape operational processes and efficiency. The work/life balance is a priority for this firm and contributes to the longevity of employees. Customer satisfaction is the gauge by which the firm operates, as the corporate vision shifts to establishing us as Business partners to our clients, as opposed to a vendor.

Cons

Team-building events and all-hands meetings need to be a priority, in addition to lateral communications between the teams. Additional oversight and productivity metrics need to be applied to the work-from-home "culture," and a health/wellness plan for all employees would be beneficial.
