Pros

Was a great place to work. Lots of team building outings, sociable coworkers, and your part of a trendy new industry.

Cons

Location and new corporate management. They don't offer to shift you to a new position within the company, they just kick you to the curb. So even though there are open positions, they sill lay people off.

Pros

A very relaxed environment with flexible hours and a lot of remote work opportunity. Small company with very little red tape. Food, snacks, and drinks for free. It's a cool product that HAD potential.

Cons

They just laid off most of their developers, QA, and business development team, and have essentially given up on growing the product. Ownership doesn't believe that the product can succeed so they are just milking what little they have left. Even before the layoffs some of the key players in creating BookShout's success started quitting (like the head developer and the head salesperson) and the former CEO was forced out. Current leadership is lacking.
