Pros

There are a certain amount of nice and talented people there who also can do a LOT better than Weblinc who are great to be around. Their bread and butter is to take on people without the education or experience for a real tech job and slowly grow them up to know Weblinc and RoR specific skills. So if you don't know much, this could be the place of your dreams.

Cons

The reason they take on people who don't know what they're doing is that they create a crop of individuals who are devoted to the company. "They took a chance on me" is a common thing to hear people say. Most people don't know enough to switch out of RoR. They end up staying at Weblinc their whole career. This is great for weblinc because they actively don't want too many smart or educated people since most of their work is slavishly boring and unskilled. Note however, that there are a number of people who are very smart and skilled. These hold the responsibility to keep everything running and do the more skilled work. The place is filthy. There are roaches. Nepotism and chaos abounds. Loud, foul-mouthed, drunkards are the celebrated norm.

WebLinc Response

We happily accept all levels of criticism towards the company, but we do not appreciate the judgment of our staff. When feedback is pointed directly at employees instead of the company, it is difficult to see any part of it being helpful. Mutual respect for one another is a key principle of WebLinc’s culture. If you’re not willing to respect your teammates, it’s clear we weren’t the right place for you.

Pros

The company values at WebLinc are everything you would want in a company. Just look up any press article about the amazing things WebLinc does from going green with solar panels, hiring refugees and training them to code, donating air mattresses to hurricane relief and more. Those values come right from the top of a family run business and it evident day in and day out that they owners of this company care about the important things in the world. WebLinc provides you the flexibility to get your work done on your terms. You are expected to do great work and when you do, you are rewarded with the full support of the company to achieve your personal goals, and spend time doing the things that are important to you in and outside of work. All of that manifests itself into a special culture. It's a work hard play hard mentality with great opportunities for anyone that buys in to that. I leave this company having made incredible connections and friendships Management is open to feedback and ideas for change and improvements. You will always have access to them and can trust they want to hear your suggestions.

Cons

WebLinc is probably not a great fit for everybody. Things are fast-paced, clients are demanding, and so is the work. Those who need constant guidance may have a hard time adjusting to the demands.
