Pros
*People on my team were phenomenal to work with, very willing to help out. *If you're client-facing, you get some cool opportunities for travel. *Radix is a small company with constant communication, so you don't get lost in the crowd. *A lot of trust in the company culture -- as long as you carry yourself well and get your work done, you will be allowed the flexibility to work how you need to. If you want to do something out there, you just may get the chance to do it and lead a new initiative. *Good office location in West Midtown ATL *Decent pay w/ good insurance
Cons
*Small, growing company + poorly defined job titles = wearing all the hats all the time, instead of being able to focus on the core skills that the company hired you for. *High turnover at basically all levels of the company. *Prone to overwork. It's a hard job being a small, product-oriented company is such a niche space, so everyone is firing on all cylinders all the time. Towards the end of my time at Radix I ended up breaking down crying in multiple one on one meetings with my manager due to stress, and was desperately trying to figure out the best way to continue working without stretching myself too thin, and was given the advice to set the boundaries I needed to succeed. When push came to shove, and a critical issue came up with one of my clients due to poor communication from management, I tried to advocate for a solution that would prevent me from having to do excessive overtime for an upcoming deadline. (Y'know, setting boundaries.) I was completely overruled with little discussion, and then expected to clean up the situation by the manager whose failure to communicate started the whole issue. At the end of the day, when you're at a small company trying to keep itself afloat, you can only have boundaries if it's not too inconvenient for the client. *Actual job mobility is hard. As mentioned in the pros, it's very possible to pitch and run a company initiative with success. But, if you're hoping to shape your vaguely defined job title into something different, don't expect that to happen any time soon.
