Pros

Very face paced in a high tech industry. With little organization or procedures in place it's possible to come in and create change. There is plenty of spaces that you can own if you have the temperament, intelligence and skill to do so.

Cons

Execs don't understand the space though a deep lack of experience. They claim to be many things they aren't and I don't feel they actually know they aren't. They are good at pulling in insanely talented people, but those talented people all end up leaving very quickly when they see behind the curtain. The execs also don't fight to keep the right people, it seems like more of a "we can replace you easily" mentality. Until the get their direction pinned down, learn what they're doing through a harsh learning curve and get rid of some of their untrustworthy middle management I wouldn't recommend working there.

I appreciate your candid feedback and advice you listed in your review. I have thought a lot about your advice and would like to do everything I can do ensure others never feel the same way. I have created a page just for your feedback and would appreciate if you would be willing to provide more detail and information about how we can improve or prevent someone from feeling the way that you do (especially around middle management).

Pros

I worked at Simplus as a developer since the very beginning. I know the management well and really enjoyed my time there. I only left to begin my own venture. Simplus is a real startup. Things move fast and change a lot. I saw the company go from 5 people to over 50 in two years. There is huge opportunity to grow if you are the intrapreneur type. Things are a little harder if you can't adapt to change. Simplus is always trying new things. If you would like to innovate you'll get the opportunity here. Also, sometimes experiments fail and I've seen departments close down. Those who are flexible and willing to learn find other places in the company and those who won't get left behind. I myself loved this environment because I constantly had opportunities to learn new things. I heard a lot of employees complain about job security in the last few months but I never ever felt that my job was at risk. The hat I was wearing might be decommissioned but there are plenty of hats to wear at Simplus and they are willing to give you time to learn. As for the day to day, there is nice furniture. People stay out of their offices and remain accessible. Unlimited vacation. Right near tracks. Fun culture. The founders are fun to work with and accessible. I worked directly with them a lot at the beginning and it was my favorite job to date. The company is much larger now so there is less facetime but I know from my direct experience that the business is in good hands. My favorite part about Simplus is that it is an idea first company. Ideas hold more merit than titles. You want to run a department? Invent one. You can't do that at Adobe.

Cons

Everything I said in the pros, ask yourself if you are the intrapreneur type before applying.

Pros

I had the privilege to work with some of the greatest people in the industry. The company has attracted some A+ players that have heart and gusto. Everyday was different and I was able to dive into several aspects and learn many new things. If you want a place where you show up and do the same old thing everyday and the company doesn't change much, I advise you to look elsewhere. If you have a spark of entrepreneur in you and want to contribute to a team that is heading into a new frontier that could change the future, this may be your fit.

Cons

The Company is in a progressive state of honing in on its niche, which can cause people to wear multiple hats.
