Pros

My interview and hiring process was smooth and quick, but looking back there were a few red flags I should have paid attention to. Huge, recent org changes that had a lot of people jumping ship. Lots of "ignore the glassdoor ratings, they're all from grumpy former employees", etc. I should have paid more attention. On the upside I'm way happier in my new job. If you aren't getting red flags, that's great! There are some very professional and nice people at Geekhive. Some... not so much. It really depends on who you will work with and under as always. But if someone seems like a grumpy jerk in an interview, that's them on their good behavior.

Cons

Management is either fine or complete dicks, and everyone apologizes for the jerks but nothing is ever done about them. They will make you life unpleasant. Also there's no senior leadership for the sales or marketing team at this point, not a good sign for a healthy business. Just on that alone I'd avoid.

Pros

Awesome people, many of them amazingly smart and willing to help others. Remote first setup means on-site, work from home or remote work all stays fully connected. Top of the line hardware. Culture was one of the biggest pros for a long time but has since changed. CEO is an incredibly charitable and easy to talk to individual. Compensation was above market earlier in but market has equalized

Cons

Upper management has become increasingly distant from production and no longer has a grasp on the reality of what's actually happening on the front lines. Competent workers are rewarded by having their jobs used as leverage to make them work nights and weekends to help cover up misses earlier in the process. Recent restructure has resulted in some inept individuals ending up in positions of power based merely on tenure regardless of track record or abilities. All of this coupled with the inability to see more than a month or two of work out has resulted in a recent ~20% downsizing.
