Pros

Small company allows you to take on responsibilities outside your original role.

Cons

The turnover rate is blistering at this company, and it's no surprise why. Very often, taking on other responsibilities isn't recognized. Lack of trust in employees creates a hostile and stifling work environment. No executive leadership besides very absent CEO and CTO. CEO plays favorites and it's painfully obvious. No job training makes everyone feel like they don't know what's expected of them. No sick leave. What else can I say about that? No room for upward movement.

SOLUTE Response

Hello. Most folks report to our program managers, they are all good, experienced leaders that really do care about people. These reviews are a bit funny, one says that I am a micro manager, etc, and the next says that I am never around. I understand there is always an emotional response when employment is terminated. I am happy to take any legitimate feedback that I can use to make the company better. We do invest quite a bit of money on employee training, including a huge IT lab with $15 million of equipment. The company is growing quite a bit, and all of our best engineers stay with the company for quite some time. I encourage you to meet the program manager and teammates that you will be working with and decide for yourself. Also we offer 3 weeks PTO and 11 government holidays and a reasonable work schedule. Have a nice day, John, CEO.
