Pluspunten

Very young, very talented workers in all departments. I made some great friends. Also gained some good experience that I hope will help in my job search.

Minpunten

There is a cult atmosphere that clouds workers' perceptions of this company. Once you wake up, you see how rotten it really is. While there are 2 or 3 great upper management types, the rest are wicked, and they will stab you in the back at their first opportunity. They'll tell you to confide in them, and then they'll sever all ties with you. The benefits are a joke, don't let them lie to you. Paying $150 a month into health insurance saved me a total of 5 dollars on my prescription. I'm actually saving more money right now without insurance. The CEO is extremely charismatic and will sell you on working for this company. Don't fall for it. The company strategy is to hire young, inexperienced, but talented people for much less than what you could be making elsewhere (over $10K less), and once you either figure this out and question it, or progress to a higher pay range, they will cut you loose. And if you haven't figured it out by now, the work/life balance is also non-existent. People have been outright fired for arriving at 7:30 a.m. and leaving at 5:00 p.m. If you aren't consistently staying until 6, 7, 8 at night, you just aren't trying hard enough. I was shocked when they let me go, but in truth... I was relieved.

Pluspunten

The clients are amazing people to work with every day

Minpunten

The CEO does NOT practice what he preaches. He thinks he knows what A players want but he doesn’t do anything he tells others to do. He is fake publicly. He pretends to be one person outwardly and I will admit, he is convincing, but he talks poorly about all his current and former employees and clients constantly. He makes inappropriate comments on team meetings and fires people with no notice or real reasons, I watched this happen countless times. He will run people’s name through the mud if you “cross” him or simply do something he doesn’t agree with. I watched him fire multiple pregnant women and multiple woman going through a divorce (while making comments about how unstable they are) while simultaneously talking publicly about how much he supports women. He teaches you how to implement an operating system but doesn’t actually follow his own teaching internally. He has zero loyalty to anyone but himself (not even his wife Cadey who he constantly belittled publicly on team calls). He also was strangely obsessed with his operator and made comments about her looks publicly, clearly making her uncomfortable. I remember one employee he offered to pay to get her breast implants removed. He was constantly crossing boundaries and strongly encouraging his team to try psychedelics. He talks often about autonomy in the work place and accountability but refuses to be held accountable himself. Run far far away!
