Pros

Very very creative environment, very friendly, supportive staff.

Cons

Currently very very male-dominated and -oriented senior leadership team. Almost no women in power whatsoever -- very depressing. Too much overpaid senior management (far too many lame ducks abusing spending accounts while more junior staff can hard get an extra $50), WAY too much middle management/ VP bloat, too much emphasis on the buzzwords and Techcrunch outlook of the day and not a longterm strategy. Too many kids in roles they're way too junior for. Endless red tape. Very little overall focus. Goals and priorities aren't articulated, half the time you don't even know which team you're officially working on. (Not kidding). Successes of teams and wholes aren't celebrated -- only the same few individuals are celebrated.

Pros

People are not only friendly, but really go out of their way to help you with anything that you need. I love my team, they have supported me in every way regarding my personal life and career. They have a great work/life balance, especially with Summer Fridays.

Cons

Getting a full time offer is difficult.

Pros

Amazing company culture with smart game changers. A place for people who love pop culture and think outside of the box. The company truly has a great work life balance.

Cons

The company is notorious for underpaying the employees but it provides a lifestyle and the employees are treated great.
