Pros
Great location, lots of places to eat on your break (but be quick because your breaks were logged - to the second). - cutting edge industry
Cons
- Completely unprofessional environment. - Bottlenecked by the CEO CONSTANTLY, with unhelpful upper management (upper management on paper, really). - Absolutely no praise for work well done but the first to be scrutinized for minuscule mistakes or hiccups. - CEO's vision was constantly changing to the point where employees had to practically read his mind to do the job effectively. - CEO completely obsessed with public appearance - Was insulted many times by the CEO - All correspondence (emails and online postings) had to be screened through him - extreme micro management to a ridiculous point (breaks were logged, tasks were logged, was told what emoticons were and weren't allowed on internal communications application) - NO benefits - expected to work 44+ hours without OT (on call on weekends, felt like a slave) - salary was 10k under the median salary for the position - if the employee didn't quit, they were fired or let go. The constant turnover rate is exhausting when trying to build a company. I've never been with a company with that high of a turnover rate.
