Pros

Interesting work, good people. Company provided good working conditions, even on a start up budget.

Cons

Stock options were minimal (whole point of a start up, right?). CEO at the time did not care about the people. Poor vision for the future. Like most start ups, hours could be long - though not as bad as some companies. Extremely high turnover.

Pros

have been challenged and encouraged everyday i come into the office. Very fast pace "go get it" attitude.

Cons

Not a place to work if you need your hand held, need to be motivated and ready to dive into any situation that comes your way.

Pros

Similar to how Uber is disrupting the transportation industry and Airbnb the hotel industry, Gigwalk is transforming how people find and execute work thru mobile technology. Gigwalk is at the forefront of this movement. McKinsey just did a study that showed over 30% of the labor force is now working in the Gig economy. Gigwalk has built an organic workforce of over 1 million Gigwalkers and is growing exponentially. Additionally, the platform has continued to evolve and become more advanced, meeting the needs of clients. Gigwalk gave me an amazing opportunity to branch outside of a traditional sales role and handle many cross departmental responsibilities. It was a pleasure working alongside the CEO, CTO, and VP of Engineering. I left Gigwalk with a wealth of new tools and learnings.

Cons

When you read the cons, one needs to take into consideration that this is a startup, its an organization that consumes VC cash and is trying to become a sustainable business. If you understand this upfront then there should be no surprises when there are pivots, roadblocks, etc. The company is extremely agile and releases new updates every 2 weeks. Because of that flexibility different hypothesis and strategies will be tested. Based on your needs, a startup can be a pro or con.
