Pros

This place is very informal. There is no set amount of vacation or paid time off. Not sure if this is a pro or con, but aside from Christmas-time it's usually pretty easy to get time off or leave early.

Cons

The CEO has a tendency to be impulsive, which usually results in poor decision-making, lack of planning, and strenuous hours. Hours are extremely long. Average for the development team is 10 hours a day, sometimes longer. Pay is poor and benefits are not included. The office is extremely dirty due to poor upkeep and careless employees - fruit flies, roaches, etc. Desks and chairs are old, and the office in general is very unorganized. The CEO also regularly checks employee emails and private conversations and is not afraid to use words like "stupid", "idiot", and "retarded" when speaking to those around him. Training and furthering education is neither provided nor encouraged.

Pros

This company is the meaning of the saying "you reap what you sow.” From the employees to the business itself. The reason why I say this is because the amount of energy, enthusiasm and hard work you put into your position is reflected later on. Amazing Co-workers. Very nice a lot of the times and helpful but they need their space to get their work done. Part of my responsibilities is to mess around with the toys they manufacture. Free lunches and happy hour provided monthly. Company benefits dental, vision and health comes later after you work here for sometime. The thing I value the most about this company is the amount of different work I get to do. I learn a lot about a field with every new project handed to me. So if you’re willing to grow as an individual then this is the place to be, if not you might want to try other companies that'll put you in one position for the rest of your career.

Cons

Work environment is very fast pace. Tasks and deadlines are somewhat challenging at times but if you’re a person who knows how to prioritize and your good at your craft then you belong here. Again it’s about how much you want to grow as a person.
