      Breadcrumb: They have no idea what they're doing.

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Free drinks. My coworkers were very nice people, and I've kept some friends. Pay was ok. Experience luckily lead to a much better career move in under one year.

      Cons

      Under trained, under staffed, the Breadcrumb software itself is super buggy, ignored by upper management, no 401k matching. Overall, working for Breadcrumb was extremely stressful. We were never sure when something was going to break and we were going to get hundreds of emails and phone calls from merchants about it. Developers ignored our concerns, as did our managers. During my last few weekly there, we had a number of outages in the software, costing merchants an incredible amount of money. Breaks and free time to get away from the intense stress are limited. If you see a job ad, run the other way and don't look back.

      Transparency issues

      Pros

      No dress code. Laxed environment. Awesome and friendly people. Regular events for R&R, bonding, and other celebrations are done.

      Cons

      Workload is imbalanced. Freeze hire for a long period (until now I suppose). CEO is childish; a good friend but not a good leader. Too much politics, drama, and bullying within people inside. The salary gap between rank and file and management people is way too wide. Many people are resigning and no move to hire replacements can be done due to freeze hire. Too many cockroaches in the office.

      Young, fast-paced company which may not always execute to plan

      Pros

      Young, dynamic and ambitious company that demands the capacity (and probably taste) for steep learning curves, which translates into opportunities for exciting work and things to learn and do.

      Cons

      Unpredictable and confusing work situations resulting from lack of planning, execution, and consistency in its own vision. The company needs to step away from the embryonic stage and be the growing listed company it should start taking responsibility to be.
