Kontras
...but there's that 2 year non-compete that you signed when you got hired! * Pay is a fraction of the industry standard * Located in "Silicon Galloway", aka nowhere. * CEO is surrounded by an echo chamber of his old friends in the exec team. * Stagnant growth * Annual performance reviews are regularly late, by just 6 or so months. * If you have an idea on improving the company, you can put it on the list and cross your fingers that someone from the exec team will pass off a non-answer in a year or so. * Execs try to push the idea that the company is a family and has great culture. This may have been true a year or so ago, but it is no longer the case. Linode recently introduced Linode Lunches and stocked the pantry with snacks. This is the definition of bread and circuses.
