Pros

At least Atlantic City is fun.

Cons

Numerous, this company is poorly managed and offers no growth opportunities. The management is based on a "Good ol' Boy" system, meaning the CEO hires all of his buddies as senior management, regardless of their actual ability to manage. The CEO spends more time touring Europe on his motorcycle than he does running the company, and it shows. Employee moral cannot possibly get any lower and new employees are leaving after only a few months of employment. Linode has huge potential to be a great place to work but that will only happen when the current management is removed.

Pros

Work as much or as little, any hours, choose your own assigments (they'd have to be approved, but had about 75% success rate).

Cons

Was purchased by Akamai and they fired all the writers except one

Pros

Free food and soda, unlimited pto, 2.5x overtime pay, education reimbursement, paid MacBook, paid relocation, housing assistance

Cons

Poor training, punished for leaving office at end of shift improperly without any lockdown procedure training. Reported security concern but fired for not reporting it properly, although it was reported to the security team. Promised promotion after 1 year and management ignored me following up on that. If you work there and leave a bad review on here they threaten your employment unless you remove the review. Mansgement call people sex offenders without proof.
