Great tech company with a egotistical CEO

Pros

- Great community of talented people - Hosts lots of tech talks - Beer fridge always full and food provided by the company for overtime work - Great staff parties

Cons

- Managment doesn't give any constructive criticism about work produced. Only complains. - CEO Matt Barrie thinks he knows everything. He really knows his tech but his talent in marketing is terrible. - Management plays favorites - It's a boys club - Managment is very disorganized and tells you one thing but does the other. - Their turnover in staff is terrible and the company has a history of firing without reason.

Shame

Pros

I can't really think of any reasons except like any job I am paid I guess.

Cons

I feel ashamed to work here. We are literally trained to manipulate and scam those that use the site. I have been told repeatedly to hide information in "hard to find" sections of the site in order to confuse users and promote unauthorised charges on credit cards etc. The company directors do not care in the least for the actual users of the site - they are happy to benefit while they can even though we are constantly reviewed extremely low on all tech / design sites. I am embarrassed to be here and am looking for other employment.

Pros

Freelancer was a interesting place to work in. They tried their best to look after there employees, by have free lunches and free gym membership, and flexible work hours.

Cons

The only problem was that they kinda treated everyone like cattle if you couldn't produce quality work during your probation period, you'll be let go.
