Pros

There are some good people who work there that really care. The office was nice and quiet and as long as nothing was blowing up you would go for a nice long lunch.

Cons

This company is a .com run by real estate people, they don't understand technology. They make decisions like abandoning the LAMP stack to rebuild the site in Cold Fusion. The application programing is very poor and instead of addressing application issues like scraping tables and using indexes they pressure the platform team to buy faster network switches servers etc. Its like I spent my day riding in a car that was making a bad noise and being instructed by the CEO to turn up the radio to make the bad noise go away. You get the feeling after working there that the CEO who has had no executive experience is just using his inheritance and listingbook as his avenue to say that he is doing something with himself.

Pros

Well paid and good benefits for the size of the company. Downtown location is rundown and not especially nice but I do enjoy the hustle and bustle of working downtown. Original concept was excellent but it has morphed somewhat into a different product.

Cons

Recent revamping of the product had caused problems. The clients needs were not considered for the most part. The president "moved on" and the CEO took over the day to day management of the company. His technology expertise is limited (his other business is car washes). His original role was that of primary and major investor. If the CEO asks your opinion try to determine what he already thinks. If you get it wrong you may find yourself without a job in a few weeks. For a company this small internal communication is very poor. Much information is found out through rumor and gossip. New products are rolled out with no information provided to staff. We find out from our clients making us look somewhat less than professional.
