Pros

Good learning experience, office location was in a nice area

Cons

CEO is a weasel. Acts like a good guy, but the sketchy never-give-you-a-raise demon is always lurking. About 95% of employees don't last more than 18 months, and 50% don't even last 6 months. If you work here, I suggest doing the minimal work possible to not get fired, and then wait until the company is in a vulnerable position so you can really gouge the CEO.

I've worked with Andy and the team on several projects over the past 10 years. Every one of them with a focus on delivering a quality product and top-tier service. Eyemagine will forever be a staple for me.

Cons

Going 10 years strong. No complaints!

Pros

I started with this company not knowing much about the platform they were using. They put in the time to train me and accelerate my career.

Cons

They don't pay competitive salaries. There's a general attitude to get things done in the quickest way possible. The result is a poor quality product and an unsatisfied client. Opportunities for growth aren't clear. The way projects are managed is a nightmare and leads to lots of stress. They are never scoped correctly. The CEO gets too excited about signing the deal/getting a check and doesn't take the time to consider if the project is actually good for the company. This leads to 2 or 3 times more work needing to be done than originally agreed upon with an already tight deadline. This creates discomfort for the developers, project managers, and the clients. Few clients stick around after the initial work is done. Some cut their losses and leave without anything being completed. There's a mass quitting/firing of employees about once year, 5 - 8 people total, so most of the time the team is made up of new, unfamiliar, inexperienced people. They preach their company values but they don't actually follow them.
