Pros

-awesome co-workers: I am surrounded by people who really know their stuff and are willing to teach and collaborate -growth opportunities: I've been given room to learn and stretch my skills from day 1, as well as given the support to do it well (internal teaching opportunities, external events and training, etc.). -office space: The new office space is in a cool location and has a really good vibe. Conducive to creativity and collaboration. -agile development practices: I really like our new agile methodology — we're focusing on continual delivery and improvements through multiple iterations, and it makes me optimistic for the future.

Cons

-fast-paced, changing requirements: the nature of the business is very fast-paced, which is hard for some people’s working styles. And we can rarely pinpoint the exact requirements at the beginning of a project (again, nature of the business), and this can be frustrating at times.

Pros

This is an innovative company with a motivated team of superstars. It's neat to be a part of a team that brings the best out of you. If you get hired here it's because the leadership values what you bring to the table and plans on trusting you to deliver. I've never felt more empowered.

Cons

I have no cons to offer. Favorite stop in my career so far.

Pros

Co-workers are smart, caring and fun individuals.

Cons

Management is horrible. I really can't overstate this enough. The CEO is a hot mess that is impossible to work with. If you are a developer you will largely (not completely) be spared from his insanity; if you are in client services... doomed! His complaints are truly never ending. He will never offer support, sound advice or compliments on a job well done. He will, at every turn, look to find fault with your work. This is his style of "mentorship". There are plenty, plenty of other agencies in PDX. Do your self, your family and loved ones (as they will need to listen to your laments on the daily should you choose to work here) a favor and work ANYWHERE else but here.
