Pros

I get to work in a truly results-oriented culture where quality of work is a priority, and input is welcomed. My co-workers are honest and intelligent. We all learn from each other's varying backgrounds, which makes for a strong team. We have monthly prototype sessions where we are encouraged to go off and try something new for a few days. Sometimes that is building a new product, and other times it is simply experimenting with new technology that may be beneficial to future projects. At the end of the prototype session, the work is presented to the entire company. This has proven to be a great way to influence the direction the company from the ground up.

Cons

There are a significant number of technologies in use. If you join the technology team, you will need to get up to speed quickly. Fortunately, everyone on the team is willing to help on-board new employees.

Pros

CEO is laser focused on the success of the company. Every one on the team is a self-starter and committed to adding the most value possible. The ability to work from home is a great perk

Cons

We are very lean, therefore, there are times where we are unable to take on as many projects as we would like.

Pros

The people are great. Everyone was extremely helpful when I first started and was asking hundreds of questions. There's a lot of potential to have a significant impact on the direction of the company. Management does a good job of listening and supporting new ideas. The work/life balance is excellent. Need to step out for a doctor's appointment? No problem. Need to work from home because you're getting furniture delivered? Sounds good. Would you rather be the type of person that gets in at 6 and leaves at 3? Go for it. There's a three-day prototype period every couple of weeks that allows you the freedom to work on any pet projects you've been bouncing around in your head. There's a kegerator with two taps that always has good beer. It's the place to post up at the end of the week.

Cons

Like in pretty much all companies that get to HomeFinder's size there tend to be silos. The kegerator in the kitchen helps break those down but some still remain. Sometimes you can get bogged down with unnecessary meetings but that's pretty much all companies.
