Pros

The company is kind of a fraud. Don't work here. The projects they work on aren't real. It seems cool at first but I'm having trouble finding pros

Cons

Almost everything except some of the people are nice. The project leaders are all over the place, they avoid communication instead of being direct, and the company suffers

Thank you for reaching out and sending us your feedback. We wish you could elaborate further on your claim that we’re a fraud or how our projects aren’t “real”, because the products we create here are, in fact, very real. You can visit our site to learn more about them or you can even find some of them in the App Store. Pertaining to our people and our management style — we think we have some really nice people here too, a lot of them actually. When it comes to managing them, Sidebench is rarely micromanaging and prefers a hands-off approach in most cases. Perhaps you were a part of an isolated incident, but to have the type of success that we’ve had here, we rely heavily on our employees to work independently and we give our staff a lot of room to do so. We’re sorry you didn’t have an enjoyable experience here, but we encourage you to reach out to us directly to clarify your feedback so that we can prevent these alleged situations in the future. Thanks again!

Pros

Leadership team is ethical and cares about what they are doing. They also hire quality folks

Cons

They are kinda ramping down in volume, so not as much opportunity to work with them as before.

Pros

The people are some of the brightest and the most humble coworkers I’ve ever had in my life. Leadership cares so much and I couldn’t imagine my life without the friendships I have made at this company. The work is rewarding in a challenging way. Clients are great and the products are so interesting.

Cons

I would say try your hardest to keep the company feeling small and close. Protecting the great community you have built is going to be hard work but it will be your greatest asset as you continue to grow.
