      All lies, no ethics - Web Developer Stateside Employee Review

      Pros

      A core team, often unappreciated from management who, lacking the curriculum, the command of the English language and better opportunities stay here and work hard.

      Cons

      These 'entrepreneur wannabes' think the only way to operate a company is through lies and by stealing time or money from their employees. Need an example of the lies? They get two positive reviews when someone also added the 'official' photo on Glassdoor. Same one they posted on FB a few days ago. What is next? Have friends and family give 5 stars just like on their FB? We can expect a few 5 star reviews here from their inner circle, but in a company that probably has not had over 25 employees in total, this many 1-stars definitely send a signal. If you are considering to work here, don't. They complain about disgruntled employees, and by disgruntled they mean 'anyone who wants to get fairly paid for their time, wants to have time to study or spend it with the family, and who wants to operate within the local labor laws'.

      It is evident this feedback is meant to harm the reputation of the company yet it really only acts to denigrate the fantastic employees that comprise this wonderful company. Fortunately, labor law in Costa Rica and the US is very clear and strictly enforced regarding employees compensation, payment and overtime remuneration so everyone gets treated equally and fairly. We also have a proven track of success establishing long-term relationships with clients and employees, which can only be the result of honesty and accountability. The startup culture is not for everyone. We quickly identify certain employees who are not a good fit with our company culture and try and reconcile these issues. If it's better that we just part ways, we make that decision for the greater good of the agency and the team’s morale.

      Pros

      This company invests in their employees with coaching, continual training, and the opportunity to work with state of the art enterprise companies. The benefits, opportunities for growth, and heart-based leadership make Stateside a great home for talented tech professionals.

      Cons

      Stateside seeks out and employs only the very best talent and has the highest standards for working with their clients. If you are not a lifetime-learner or team-player focused on growing your skills, this will not be a good fit for you.

      Pros

      Working here was definitely a learning experience

      Cons

      -Low pay for high work expectations -No set job roles or training -Lack of concern for employees, as long as they are able meet deadlines and keep clients happy that is all that matters -Failure to meet deadlines is always the employees' fault, management never takes "ownership" of own shortcomings -Very unstable, quick staff turnaround -Uncertain future for this startup, if employees continue to be undervalued Don't be fooled by the cool "vibe" of this place. It takes a certain personality to be happy at this place, so please know what you are getting into before accepting a job here. If you choose to work here, don't put all your eggs in one basket your job may not be secure.

      Thank you, we do appreciate and value the constructive criticism and take this type of feedback very seriously, we agree that it really does take a certain type of person to be happy and successful working at Stateside. We take pride in listening to our employees, which is proven by the fact that only 3 employees have resigned in our 3 years of operation. A testament to this fact is that we also provide a suggestion box where employees can submit their feedback to management anonymously so that we can learn and make changes along the way where necessary. We strive to achieve a high level of creativity and individual efforts from our employees. And as much as we learn from our success we learn from our failures - including hiring candidates that are not a good cultural fit.
