Q&A With FaceCake Marketing Technologies Employees

Great. There's a great team there who have had to be very adaptive considering the unorthodox work environment. Close group.

I was interviewed for a specific role, but ended up doing everything but. The interview itself was quite enjoyable compared to the intimidation of coding tests and white boarding. Mostly just chit chat and a review of work you've already done. Kinda nice actually.

In store installations are doing well. Mobile/web apps not so much.

Other than the bizarre favorites and gossip games, the biggest change needed at FaceCake is ANY discernible structure or organization. Projects are often rushed, very quickly and recklessly to production. Usually what goes to production was a proof of concept the day before. Unit testing and QA are unheard of and one might get snapped at for suggesting such structure.

Employees are rewarded and get in good graces the longer they stay in the office, not necessarily even working, just being present for 12-14 hours. That being the case, work life balance is not ideal.

I received a promotion when I was making a decision as to wether or not I should move back east. Otherwise, promotions are unusual at best. The stated reason is always that the company's shares are the final reward, but considering they're private, it's not much of a consolation.

Fine. 2 Weeks as a I recall, or 10 business days.

One employee worked from home, but it was a constant point of contention with the CEO, despite the arrangement being in his contract. Otherwise the CEO was vehemently opposed to anyone working from home for any reason, much less as a remote employee. Her reason being she felt the need to "see the whites of their eyes". Strange.
