Pros

The owners really seems to care about their employees. Most employees are friendly and good natured. No one minds helping anyone else when it comes to problems, even across departments. Good company culture with snacks, drinks and a great coffee machine. Fun parties sprinkled throughout the year and general positive outlook keeps morale relatively high.

Cons

The work can be tedious and fast paced. You'll be expected to wear many hats and come up with your own SOPs to document what you're doing. Management can sometimes be a bit micromanaging and often lacks tact when dealing with employees. Not a lot of growth opportunities within the company. Once you're in a position there's not a lot of other places to move, and very few supervisory or lead positions are available.

Pros

Working remotely is the only benefit available.

Cons

- Netgate has an unpleasant work atmosphere. - Employees are left mentally and emotionally drained because of the extremely stressful and toxic conditions. - The environment does not support learning or growth since leadership is poor at communication and consistently fails to provide proper guidance or meaningful feedback. - An open door policy is claimed, but in reality, concerns are ignored and communication is one-sided.
