Pros

If you take all the good things from real reviews, and truly live by them and do a some enhancing to culture/WLB/benefits...you will have Pros listed.

Cons

The review posted on 01/31/2018 titled "great place to work, family atmosphere" was left by the CEO as a way of "damage control" in response to the multitude of bad reviews from real employees. Take a look at the wording of that review and compare it to his responses to other reviews for FPI. This "review" is misleading. The culture WAS fun and loose; however, the new environment is one of fear and blame. All of the "brightest technical people" have left the company because it is not somewhere we want to work. FPI doesn't ask people to punch a clock - true. What company does? That being said, the new CIO started demanding that people on a certain project work nights, weekends, and holidays. How is this an "excellent" work/life balance? Yes, IT team members should except the occasional weekend or night work due to an issue or some kind of scheduled work; however, when those hours are being forced on employees via bullying and threats of being fired, then it isn't promoting work/life balance or a "great place to work". If people are FPI's most important asset, then why when presented with complaints and exit interview/email contents, did the CEO respond with a statement of "I don't care"? If people are the greatest asset, then why are so many people leaving because they are being treated poorly and because the company seems unstable to work for?

Pros

Everyone was very nice and outgoing great environment to work in and learn in. I Would go back the company had many fun events and I felt at home within the first week of being there.

Cons

The timing was unfortunate because they got a new manager on the same day I started so he didn't know how to guide me at first because he had started the same day I did.

Pros

Lot of good people working there when I was there. The folks who have been there the longest on the technical side are phenomenal and so supportive and patient.

Cons

The culture was very stressful. Everything was always an emergency. Developers were expected to do everyone's job and then of course also blamed for anything that went wrong. When I was there, the on call expectations were insane. From day one they made it clear that the expectation is that you will work way more than 40 hours/week (when there's an emergency! which was always) and not be paid well for it.
