Pros

Anything positive might give the wrong impression that working here is a good thing. There are some nice people (though the numbers are dwindling rapidly) and a bit of a bonding against the odds that made it somewhat possible to get through the days and weeks. But, that's really trying hard to find anything positive.

Cons

The company is run by people who treat everything as a sale. Potential customers, existing customers, and employees are nothing more than a possible sale. As such, they will say anything to get the sale, and then hope you don't notice when they don't deliver on what's promised. It's hard to work for a company willing to do that to its customers. It's even worse when you do that to your employees. The list of things wrong is long: poor pay, poor benefits, poor management, poor ideas, poor planning, poor execution, and consequently poor morale. If you even entertain the notion of working at CellTrust, ask the hard questions. Ask to talk to existing employees. Find out about culture, work environment, product roadmaps, development processes, release schedules, reception to new ideas, adapting to change, employee retention rates, management experience, the broken promises, and who makes the decisions. Do your homework, and realize that what you're being told isn't the complete picture. It's up to you to get the full picture as it won't be offered up. It's an insta-blame culture where management reacts to problems only to find out who's at fault, but does nothing to fix the underlying causes of the problems. It's tiring to sit through essentially the same meetings over and over again because all the processes to address the problems aren't implemented - we're just there to find out whom to blame. It's a tragic version of "Groundhog Day". It could be salvageable if it looked like management cared. When managers of the company show up at 10 am or so in the morning (on a good day) - it just feels like those in charge are going through the motions.

Pros

Startup, easy to get to know every coworker

Cons

CEO cares more about eating lunch for over an hour than their employees. A lot of bugs with their software and wasn't really trying to fix them. A lot of downtime
