Pros

It is hard to find any. They paint a very nice picture of their business to potential employees and customers. It is simply that - a facade. To be clear, nothing illegal to my knowledge.

Cons

Senior management engages in business that they do not understand or care to take advice on. Anyone who brings in knowledge that compete with senior management is seen as a threat. Your professional profile, in my experience, will take a hit from including this firm on your resume. The office is extremely young - and management seems intent on "keeping themselves young" as well. They have the trappings of a "fun modern" workplace with the booze-soaked quarterly parties and pool table. The reality is darker. Management refuses to delegate, and then scapegoats whoever they like least. I watched this happen to three different young employees - and then me. Being one of their favorites might be worse.

Pros

They make their firm seem like an interesting, exciting, and high opportunity place to work.

Cons

The reality of working there. Systems are junk. Management is narcissistic, narrow minded, and inexperienced in this space. Your career will suffer from being associated with the firm.
