Pros

Great co workers, relaxed atmosphere, flexible schedule, remote work, very little bureaucracy, approachable managers, quarterly meet up and yearly retreat, unlimited PTO, great benefits and pay.

Kontras

Was great for most of my time until the company ran into money problems due to lack of projects, delayed or un collectable payments and avoidable expenses (like the Puerto Rico trip in Jan 2017). Paychecks and 401k contributions have been delayed. Things got really bad within the span of a month. Company went through a round of layoffs.
 Layoff's were not handled properly, great employees were layed off with out giving appropriate reasons (you don't fit with our re structuring plan is not enough !). After giving years to this company, the least they could have done was give some honest feedback on the reasons for layoff.
 Paychecks, 401k contributions should be settled by the last day of employment. That did not happen, it took an additional 15 days.

Thank you for your review and for acknowledging that most of your time at Function1 was pretty great. 2017 was an incredibly hard year for us. We had to make some very difficult decisions; none of which were taken lightly. We have learned a great deal from this experience, and from the feedback we’ve received from our team members. We acknowledge and regret the lack of transparency during that process. We also sincerely apologize for any pain this might have caused, that was never the intent. We truly wish you nothing but the best in your current and future endeavors.

Pros

I feel that I have a great work/life balance. The PTO policy is great and even if I couldn't have paid time off I feel this is the first job I've had where I don't have to fight or feel guilty to take time off. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people and I enjoy the work I do.

Kontras

2017 was a rough year financially and seeing layoffs/restructuring. Prior to that I really had no complaints. I wish we did get to see each other more or at least interact with each other more (other than messaging apps).

Pros

Few and far between. Frankly I can't think of any legit ones. I guess cool swag like squishy pandas and stale m&ms should count for something ?

Kontras

Actually, empty bank accounts is true for our amazing company and our own bank statements. Paychecks have been late theoughout the year. Expenses are not repaid. Illegal money laundering or employee 401k contributions - removed from paycheck not deposited to account, not gaining interest. Staff, sales managers, PMs, consultants are doing their jobs well but the CEO and operations lead are pointing fingers and laying off or firing others although they are the ones that need to be fired. No raises but you know CEO makes bank. His vacations to Hawaii, europe, & so on are probably fun but we can't afford to do that if we don't get paychecks or worse for those who got laid off or fired. Oh. No raise yet and I been here a few years - certainly no bonuses No positive future. Everyone I work with is scared for future as project future uncertainty continues and CEO/ops continues to pretend everything is excellent - sure your company is doing excellent when everyone is Lookin for a job and (barely) getting paid for it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It has certainly been a very difficult year for everyone at Function1. While we agree that we should have communicated these challenges with more transparency, we did what was necessary to remedy the situation - which unfortunately included restructuring. We understand that this approach was painful for everyone involved, but we needed to take these measures to best secure the future of the company. We ultimately have learned many important lessons in the process and have since implemented policies to increase transparency and prevent these difficulties from ever happening again. As a current employee, we encourage you to have a conversation with your manager if you have any remaining concerns, or to take advantage of our anonymous feedback tool.
