Run.

|
None. I questioned if every dollar I made there was worth it. It is not.
|
-Micro managers, especially the CEO
-Executives launch the company into random directions with no research to back their shots-in-the-dark. They fail or executives change their minds after mass amounts of money have been spent.
-Executives lie to employees and short them on bonuses and refuse raises. One person worked her job and her manager's for more than 6 months, but only got half her bonus, $500.
-Management asks their HR person to post positive reviews to draw in unsuspecting job seekers.
-Executives tirelessly try to get the HR person to remove glassdoor reviews that are true. (Check what Paltalk used to be called, Peerstream, and Snap Interactive before that)
-When projects go wrong, executives blame their subordinates for their own decisions.
-Executives are sticklers for requesting vacation and constantly contact employees on vacation to continue doing work.
-When executives go on vacation they're completely unreachable and don't request their vacation, they just suddenly don't come to work for a week.
-Executives don't care about their customers, I once heard an executive say "They aren't people".
I am repulsed that I ever worked for this company. There is a reason they've changed their company name 3 times in 5 year.

You should be ashamed. And if you're not, then you're a part of the problem.

Work independently, great benefits, smart people!
|
|
Really smart people and always encouraged to be innovative. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. Looking forward to the new changes in management.
|
You have to be self motivated as no one will hold your hand. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you

Processes can be weak at times, but that can work to your advantage if you're looking to get something done in a short window

Some dedicated, smart, persistent co-workers
Talented marketing team
Profitable business
Fully paid health insurance

Losing users, market share and profitability rapidly
Lack of consistent, coherent product strategy
Disorganized, dysfunctional management with no adherence to an org chart
Antiquated technology that frequently fails
Crucial company functions are in the hands of outside consultants
Employees rewarded more for loyalty and tenure than ability and performance
Stingy vacation policy
Company culture is startlingly different from younger, more successful start ups
Depressing office location

Address the weaknesses in the business instead of using spin to make everything seem rosy. Treat tenured and new employees with the same respect. Revamp the technology. Adhere to an organizational chart and use hierarchy to help execute on a coherent business plan. Stop rewarding employees who don't pull their own weight and contribute to the business's success. Incentivize performance instead of loyalty. Have a more transparent performance management system.

Good company to work with
|
|
The company is small and well organized, at least recently. It has some management issues in the past but seems much better now. The business is profitable and user base seems solid and there are plenty of things to do to make it better.
|
There are no much cons recently but company was overmanaged in the past and that caused some issues with people making some things to find that nobody needs them after.

Good - but team organization needs work
|
|
Flexible working arrangements; stability - their products have a solid user base; opportunity to learn new technologies if the project permits
|
Some issues with team structure which can lead to some team members being over-stretched. If those members are central to the project succeeding then obviously this is a problem. Those members can end up being less available to help and share knowledge.
