Pros

Lots of freedom to figure things out on your own and cowboy code whatever you want.

Cons

Pitiful QA. Flimsy brittle systems. Out of date documentation. Clueless abusive micromanaging managers. Coworkers throw you under the bus. High turnover. Huge technical debt. Unrealistic expectations.

Pros

A job until you get a better job... If you like being gased up but get nowhere, this would be a start.

Cons

Everything... but the most noticeable is FAVORTISM from ceo since this is a close nit start up. Only those "friends" of ceo prior to startup survive longterm, otherwise your disposable. HIGH TURN OVER! Over hires just to fire, complete waste of valuable employee times. No loyalty to good workers, only to those of the ceo's alliance. If you want a job just to get by, give it a try but only as a stepping stone before they fire you for not being able to keep up with being over worked, undertrained and under compensated. This company has no direction, your sold dreams you have to buy to keep a job. Constantly trying to come up with new systems, constant change, judgement from long term employees when theyve only been good at spinning their wheels for years. They give you the bare minimum but want exemplary results!

The sentiments shared in this post have weighed heavily on me these past several months. I consider it my sole responsibility to ensure the health and well being of all employees. It’s a responsibility I have, and always will, take very seriously. Although this was difficult to read, I appreciate the sharing of perceptions by employees, past and present. Having this knowledge allows me the opportunity to rectify the situation and ensure that perceptions such as these do not become reality.

Pros

• Great location • Office is spacious, sunny, and colorful • Games and pool table at office • Lots of food in break room • Friendly staff • Lack of micromanagement

Cons

•Salespeople sell a lot of vaporware including features the company has no idea how to deliver •Salespeople overpromise and make up ROI numbers that they know aren’t true •Production underdelivers – websites take 3-4 times longer to launch than promised – most customers are very dissatisfied waiting almost a year for their site to go live •Very few happy customers – production, support and sales are inundated by customer complaints •WDS is not profitable; they are dealing with a large debt incurred by years of poor decisions that makes any type of forward thinking investment in people or technology impossible •WDS fires employees frequently; morale is horrible – most employees are underpaid and underappreciated and trying to find a way out •Company goes on hiring sprees and then firing sprees •Leadership is delusional •CEO is a poor leader, planner, and decision maker •Employees are blamed for the mistakes of management •WDS’s eCommerce platform is severely outdated and very buggy •Platform lacks features and capabilities of most competitors, including platforms that are being sold at a fraction of the cost •WDS sites are slow •Most customers have very low conversion rates on their sites •Designs are weak and look like templates – Magento and Worpress templates are much more attractive with a better UX. Take a look at the portfolio and see for yourself Strongly recommend you be careful in doing business with WDS
