Not much, sadly. The best thing about work is the kitchen and the beautiful office.

Review from Sales Dept

The people! Everyone is so hard working and encouraging of the success of others. Managers and coworkers truly care about each other.

supportive

Every employee is very personable, positive, and smiley

They treat us well and celebrate our successes. We have a fully stocked kitchen, and tons of incentives, like contests and trips.

Review from Sales Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Stop with the sexism and female harassment.

Less politics and more competent management. Above all else, more competent leaders who are capable of empowering others to succeed rather than assume they'll fail without the prophetic guidance from the founders, who seem to have all the answers except why their employees are so unsatisfied.

Review from Engineering Dept

Come clean about no promotion paths. Do not circulate false hope.
