Pros

Start-up vibe, youthful culture, free snacks & Friday lunches

Cons

They hire smart people with little experience to exploit and underpay them, few opportunities to learn or grow, poorly managed at the top, depressingly low employee morale that permeates every facet of the company

Thank you for taking time to let us know how we can improve our company. We always appreciate constructive criticism as well as the reminders on what we’re doing right. You’re absolutely right that we have an insatiable appetite for smart people. This company was built on opportunities being given to people with drive and intelligence, so we don’t intend on slowing down on that at any point. We also find it quite a compliment that you mention we “have an eye for smart, talented employees.” We do pride ourselves on that. We also pride ourselves on giving those very people a chance to learn, develop, and grow their entrepreneurial spirit. So I’m not sure what you mean by pigeonholing anyone since cross-training and exploration of new ideas are regularly encouraged and rewarded. We wish you the best in your ongoing journey to find the best fit for your talents. Thank you again for taking time to help us become a better organization.
