      Pros

      * Great learning opportunity * Work and project variety * Schedule flexibility - several employees work remotely and owners prioritize gym/exercise time in the afternoon * Ideal environment for the self-learner and problem solver * Minimal micromanagement and work autonomy * Owners genuinely care and are well-intentioned

      Cons

      * No upward mobility * Minimal collaborative work opportunities and social interaction - Parsus is a team of very strong individual and often introverted contributors so if you are a social butterfly with a strong need to communicate and collaborate, the work environment may not be ideal for you. * Lack of organizational structure - no detailed process or procedural documentation, no training materials, no formal mechanism for providing or receiving feedback. * No formal training - as a new team member you will be expected to hit the ground running and you'll need to figure it out and get it done asap. * Poor work/life balance - notifications require a prompt response and it is not uncommon to work outside of normal business hours. Regular overtime and constant availability is a work culture expectation.

      We are always disheartened when a team member didn't feel positive with us. We take all comments from present and past team members seriously and hope to learn from their experiences. At Parsus, we have purposely created an environment that forgoes "organization structure" in order to recognize each individual as a team member with unique skill sets. We don't rely on titles. We are a boutique rapid-app dev firm that works with lots of different technologies and clients. This makes being a quick learner / self-starter an essential part of the job. We are always looking for team members who can put on their headphones, put their head down, and bang out solutions to solve clients' problems. These are features we mention during the hiring process and reiterate at on-boarding. We appreciate the feedback received and we wish this previous team member the best of luck in their next endeavor!

      Pros

      I had almost given up looking for a place to do development that didn't burn out their employees with poorly managed workload. The culture at Parsus is very positive and shares my personal values. It is small company that works on big projects using a variety of technologies. Every project I have worked on has been completed different, interesting and challenged my skills as a developer. Plus, we go out for the best Pho every week at lunch :)

      Cons

      I haven't found one yet.

      Pros

      Working at Parsus means no two days are alike. We work with a variety of clients from small, locally-owned businesses to government agencies and large, national organizations. There is a strong emphasis on working smarter, not harder. Because Parsus is a small, boutique company, all roles are equally important and work in unison to complete the task at hand for our clients. Also, the size of Parsus means that we are a tight-knit group of people that support one other both inside and outside of the office. More often than not, most staff stay with Parsus because of the reason's listed above plus the owner's emphasis on health, wellness and maintaining a work/life balance. I've been with Parsus for over 6+ years and have enjoyed watching the business grow to what it is today thanks in part to the owners, my coworkers and our awesome clients.

      Cons

      No cons come to mind.
