Pros

There is a great variety to the work at Niowave. As a small company, there's almost always an opportunity to try something different. The work environment is casual dress, and there are recreational sports teams subsidized by the company.

Cons

This is a company based on micromanagement, a complete lack of trust in the staff, and misinformation. The staff are not treated like they are valued, never empowered, and never given real opportunity for growth. There is constant promise of grand bonuses and raises with overtime, but no follow-through. Catastrophic medical insurance only (high deductible), no vision, no dental, no 401K contributions or matching.

Startup so less pay than other places, but it is in a low cost of living area.

Pros

Relationships with peers are generally very good. Plenty of opportunities to bond through the rough circumstances you inevitably find yourselves working in. Fantastic resume builder if you can handle the cons. Put in your time and move on to somewhere you will enjoy working.

Cons

I sincerely hope that the following issues have been addressed. Niowave had a great deal of unrealized potential, but was handicapped by a lack of honest engagement between management and workers. Managers and executives had perfected the art of talking around a problem and could often direct conversations away from the real issues with vague corporate speak or buzzwords. Management did not stand up for their teams and not for lack of trying to make it look like they did. You will genuinely care about the company and believe in the cause for a time, but you come to realize that the feelings are not mutual.
