Pros

The atmosphere is friendly, fun (random nerf and laser tag battles). The organization of projects is very clear and structured. No official hours, so you can modify your work schedule a little bit around your life schedule. If help is needed, just walk down the hallway to a co-worker and they will be happy to assist you! There is room for advancement and growth, especially as the company changes to meet the needs of clients today! Sharp also likes to bring in employees that are excited about their work and enjoy challenging themselves! Working with smaller clients allows for direct content with clients if needed, even if you aren't the project manager.

Cons

Lots of the projects are for smaller companies, and doesn't allow for too much exposure. Sharp doesn't have a large profit margin like some other companies may, as most clients are smaller, but this allows for a safer loss of a client as they are not reliant on any one client in particular.

Pros

I've worked in agencies for over 15 years and never have been on a team like Sharp Innovations. Great communication, room to innovate and grow, mutually respectful work environment. I love the positive attitude everyone in the company has, and how we all work together towards common goals. There is so much freedom in my role that I feel like I'm my own boss. There is a great structure, but no feeling of a corporation or status ladder. Ideas are heard and considered, and our CEO encourages new ideas, fun, and personal growth.

Cons

I really haven't come across any cons after being with the company for almost a year. I'm remote and work out of California and they have been very pro-active about making me feel included and going out of their way to incorporate more connection between the remote team and the in-person team.

Pros

Great friendly people, fast paced work environment, great benefits: matching IRA contributions, 2 weeks vacation available on day 1, 3 weeks after 3rd year, good health plan (ppo)

Cons

lower-than-average salaries for web designers and developers, senior management likes to micro-manage, senior management doesn't grasp concept of production schedules. Budgets are micromanaged and new office amenities and software require a lengthy "approval process" which is mostly used to surf the web and find a cheaper price, and if one can not be found - request is denied. For developers, production schedule is usually 50% or 75% of the estimated time for a project - this is completely arbitrarily decided on in order to make the end-contract price more attractive to clients.
