Pros

Start-up vibe, youthful culture, free snacks & Friday lunches

Cons

They hire smart people with little experience to exploit and underpay them, few opportunities to learn or grow, poorly managed at the top, depressingly low employee morale that permeates every facet of the company

Thank you for taking time to let us know how we can improve our company. We always appreciate constructive criticism as well as the reminders on what we’re doing right. You’re absolutely right that we have an insatiable appetite for smart people. This company was built on opportunities being given to people with drive and intelligence, so we don’t intend on slowing down on that at any point. We also find it quite a compliment that you mention we “have an eye for smart, talented employees.” We do pride ourselves on that. We also pride ourselves on giving those very people a chance to learn, develop, and grow their entrepreneurial spirit. So I’m not sure what you mean by pigeonholing anyone since cross-training and exploration of new ideas are regularly encouraged and rewarded. We wish you the best in your ongoing journey to find the best fit for your talents. Thank you again for taking time to help us become a better organization.

Pros

Open Kitchen, Free Lunches on Friday.

Cons

PLEASE BEWARE! If you find your way through the application process and accept their below market value offer, you’ll be ushered (often without choice) into one of two directions; the XYZ domain registry side or the payday loan media conglomerate of the business. The company is notorious for hiring and promoting friends and family over those seemingly more qualified for the open positions. The environment and culture that is preached from the top down is one of 60 hour work weeks, unaccountability, nepotism, lack of trust and disrespect for the team. This behavior trickles down to middle-management and employees frequently suffer the consequences. This helps explain the high-employee turnover with a team of 30 people 2-3 leave every month be greener pastures. The other positive reviews listed stating they will “listen” or that they are "customer focused" and there is "room to get involved" are comically fake. You can be 'promoted' by title one day and have all responsibilities pulled by the time you get back on Monday. Do not, under any circumstance, think this will be anything but an abusive professional relationship.

Thanks for taking a moment of your day to let us know how your experience was. We would like to start off by apologizing to you for not meeting your expectations. Our hope is that every person that walks through our doors as an employee or even a candidate would walk out having felt our passion and desire to be nothing short of the best. You have the right impression of us from the standpoint that we do work hard. While we acknowledge that not every company is for every person, I’m not exactly sure how you got “30 people …. 2-3 leave every month” type of figures. Factually speaking, we can assure you that this is not the case.
