Pros

Small perks (Breakfast on Mondays, Lunch on Wednesday, poor excuse for a happy hour on Thursdays). Great team-members. All the working B level and down employees are amazing. They will be dedicated, hard working and most of all welcoming and supportive to new employees.

Cons

This laundry list is as long as the day is bright. Leadership - The CEO and CTO are dating and make no attempts of hiding it. The lack of professionally is astounding. They are known for drinking heavily mid day and coming back to work smelling of the booze they seemingly bathed in over lunch. They are WILDLY disrespectful to their staff. I have never in my life seen a company where employees are spoken to and treating in a manor such as this. This probably speaks to the unbelievable turn over rate in this company. At times people leave without any other position lined up because this environment so so toxic. They don't know where they want this company to go and so business decisions are made on the spot based almost solely on emotion by the god-awful CEO. Product - The site may look great on the front end, but the backbone is highly flawed software. There is no eye for system or process here but they keep making attempts to expand the business. This business is SURE to collapse under its own weight and nothing they do is sustainable and the people who want to suggest sustainable solutions are often treated with contempt. Culture - The culture here is egregiously poor. As i said earlier, the CEO drives a culture of fear and disposability. They play favorites in a near disgusting and obvious way and any insinuation to that effect puts you in their crosshairs. They will fire people on pure whim but will not allow those still working there to do their jobs. They will micromanage you to death and are PURELY execution oriented with no mind at all for strategic planing. Everything the do is decided on that moment.
