Pros

*Really fun people to work with. *Best manager I've ever had. This varies from person-to-person as with any company. *Catered lunches daily. *Unlimited PTO: I got my work done and excelled always, so no problem when I took vacations to see family and friends. Also easy to take off for doctor or other appointment. *If you join at the correct level with a good manager, able to gain experience and a title above current level. Work on a bunch of high-value projects without much red tape and crush a workload you thought you couldn't by efficiently using your time (rarely worked more than FT 40hrs.). *Career track was solid and I advanced a lot. (I left when it was stunted -see cons.) *Direction of the company should be positive if strategy is driven by the right people and executed well.

Kontras

*Pay is below market. *75% health insurance premium paid compared to 100% many other places. *Lots of workers in their 20's, some in 30's, barely anyone 40+. *Hiring and pay freezes several times over the last couple years. Demoralizing round of layoffs in May. *Some people have skills, but no career track. *No training provided for most roles. This was extremely frustrating at times.

Pros

Hack reactor is incredible at meeting the needs of the people working there. They are flexible and practice incredible boundaries. It is an environment that motivates an incredible work ethic.

Kontras

The job (that I had) is temporary and part time. Teaching just doesn't pay as much as a more technical programming job would.

Pros

There are a number of great people who have worked here, not sure how many are left after a recent exodus of staff. The curriculum and student experience seem to really produce some great results, even if not as good as originally advertised. I think they've really made a big difference in a lot of student's lives and helped them to find good jobs they otherwise wouldn't have been able to get without the help of the program and dedicated staff members.

Kontras

There is just a general feeling of chaos on a daily basis with constantly changing strategy, plans, and leadership. They moved from one small school to lots of schools/brands with all of the decision-making power in a parent company called Reactor Core but have apparently realized this was a mistake and are switching everything back under the Hack Reactor brand, including the acquired schools. There is a really gossipy Kool-aid culture where most people vent frequently about everyone and everything. Very few people seem to be really in a stable position where they don't feel a need to talk through their work issues on a daily basis instead of focusing on their job. Many employees seem to feel like the executive leadership only cares about money and profit for themselves, despite a large amount of talk about mission and vision. The compensation is really not competitive relative to other options in the Bay Area. They tend to recruit and burn through people who are willing to work on less salary because they care about the product and students.
