Pros
The people at Bkstg are great. Especially in design and product. I had a good salary here, very competitive with the rest of east coast. I think the previous CEO's vision was interesting but hard to understand so that created issues. It was a really fun work environment, and no middle management politics, so employees got along great. Surprisingly little politics for a big startup. Overall really fun and hardworking people. I did learn a lot.
Cons
A lot of changes in the year I was working there, huge restructuring of management level, though probably for the better. I beleive a lot of people were pissed because they were let go, including myself, but overall it was a great experience working with some of the smartest and nicest people in NYC so you gotta let it go and not take it personally. Working with the people in LA wasn't always easy. They aren't very tech savvy compare to the NYC team. Time difference also made some projects difficutl.
