Pros

Its a growing company. They are trying to do everything. They have a strong vision of what they are trying to do. Free coffee and tea.

Cons

Its a sweat shop. They are completely up their own backsides with their leadership principles. Takes them forever to turn around hiring because they insist on hiring the right candidate and use people who are ridiculously time constrained to do it - meanwhile all round them teams are bleeding and working round the clock.

Pros

Whenever you can get hours it is nice. They have a good routing program

Cons

You can never get any hours. I have been on schedule for 4 weeks and only got 1 day of work. They say you can pickup shift if available every night at midnight. Really.

Pros

Working on impactful projects that are focused on the customer and long term business thinking of taking over the world.

Cons

Low pay compared with other top companies (Google or Facebook for example). Very cheap with employes: cheap and slow hardware (pc monitor, laptop, desktop), no perks, long working hours. You do unpayed oncall one week every month and you need to respond to issues in 15 mins in the middle of the night or weekend or holiday. Promotions are very hard and take many years.
