Pros

None that I am aware of

Cons

I was submitted to this company for a specific salary range. After they agreed to this, I went ahead with the interview. I was well received and everything went very well. They had me do an 8 hour project on my own time which I did. I was told that I did a great job, however, I was then made an offer substantially below the minimum which we already agreed on. I felt used and take advantage of, this was a huge waste of time.

Hello, this is obviously written by a competitor, as we have have no Software Engineers that have been fired or have quit in many years, which attests to the wonderful work environment that we provide to our employees. Anyone interested in working here is more than welcome to come visit us without any appointments so you can see our beautiful, quiet, and happy office at any time you choose during normal business hours. Additionally, I'm the CEO of the company, Mark Turkel, and more than happy to discuss at any time, and my direct line is 561-572-0233. I truly hope a fake review like the one above (that they will not allow me to delete) will not deter you from joining one of the best software development firms in the country. Thank you for your consideration.

Pros

-Free Snacks. -Friendly co-workers (except management). -It's actually hard to say anything nice about this company. -I quit within 2 weeks of working here due to disorganization.

Cons

-Both leaders tend to argue frequently (high school arguments, name calling etc). -No set structure. -Pay is not up to industry standards. -Mark and James both claim this is a "Family Oriented" business, but realistically it is "Money Oriented". -Be prepared to be bombarded with "write a Glassdoor review for us" or "like us on Facebook". -Don't call out with family matters because "it's not their problem" but of course, their family matters become yours (such as: a kid going to college). -Due to the ridiculous comment claiming I was "terminated" I decided to re-write my review. -I still have the email I used to quit, I can re-send it to refresh your memory if you'd like. -Calling out due to "Family matters" is legit reasoning but you wouldn't know that, considering you have no respect for others, their situations or their families.

This review was from an employee that was hired and attended work for 6 days in a 2 week period, then was fired for not showing up. We have a quiet and quite relaxed office atmosphere, and anyone interested in working here is invited to show up without notice and see for yourself. Our employees have been with us for over 10+ years, and they are happy and also compensated well.

Pros

Boses take 2hour lunches. You can go to yoga class and back and they wont notice. I did it daily after 5 weeks of no paychecks.

Cons

All negative reviews are very true. They are real. Mark harasses employees to write good reviews on social media and job sites for the company. These people will lie to you while smiling. They don’t pay you for weeks and keep lying about it. The environment is toxic with the constant bickering and awful language between the owners Mark and James. Their partner Rick is a dangerous volatile & violent person, also extremely under qualified leadership skills.

This review was from a very angry person with many personal problems. After trying our best to make this person happy, finally terminated her, as we found out she was taking 2 hour yoga classes on our payroll. We spend a lot of time out of the office because we're consultants, and we have to trust our employees to do the right thing, even when nobody is looking.
