Cons
HR have gone far too corporate far too quickly - the company is still a start up, but the flexibility for startup employees is being stifled by corporate procedures without the corresponding corporate benefits being put in place to keep people happy or to attract new talent. As with most startups the product was built for demo and then hacked again and again into shape for demo after demo. This introduces a lack of quality into the code due to rushing for deadlines and this is not being given the time to fix. There have been a few pushes to get software out the door on time which resulted in a large proportion of the engineering team working mad extra hours. This has happened a few times, but there is no recognition or reward for this extra effort. Some senior managers make promises that are never upheld (e.g. benefits, rewarding success, etc) Processes are too slow to get work in-front of engineers to enable them to get to work efficiently. Product team are understaffed with BAs that don't fully understand the product as it currently stands (not their fault... due to lack of training/time on the product)
