Pros

The staff apart from management is fantastic, bagel wednesday!, hours have been reduced from where they were a year ago, good location in the DTC, dress code

Cons

The company is going through yet another layoff, very traumatic time for employees to continually be scared of losing their jobs, the company cannot retain employees or recruit new ones because of everything that has happened in the last 6 months (apparently Rivet is a software company with only 4 developers currently? something wrong with that picture) the CEO is living in France with his family and running a company he has no idea about, management seems to be running the company with no sense of a single direction, the VP of sales doesn't even have a sales background, overall a lost morale, LOTS of office drama and politics (but who doesn't have that right?) Overall, it's sad to see what Rivet has become since starting... the culture of a "Google-esque" technology company will many happy employees is no longer. Sad.

Pros

They provide great opportunity for recent accounting and finance grads to become employed; some very intelligent and well-educated people to work with; fitness center, covered parking, $82 annual RTD eco pass gives you unlimited public transportation

Cons

For five months out of the year, the work-life balance is about as poor as it gets for an XBRL Accountant in the compliance department - you can expect to work anywhere between 60 to yes even 90 hours per week. Come into work one, or sometimes both days on the weekend and work a shift that a normal 40-hour per week person would have. During the week, spending 12 hours per day in the office is the norm. Off-peak periods during the other seven months are nice - 35-40 hour weeks but maybe that time should be more productive to ramp up for peak and make that less painful. Management clearly has no direction and the employees feel underappreciated. Even with the bonus, the per-hour earnings for a salaried employee is insultingly low. Overall, the compensation is pretty good, but on a per-hour basis, not good at all. Now the future for the company is very uncertain.
