Pros
-Very cool projects -Lots of autonomy -A great place to learn lots of skills quickly
Cons
-No focus or project management -Extremely dishonest senior management. Both with customers and Employees. COO Keith Peer explicitly lied to me several times as an employee, and then seems to have written a transparently fake review to pat himself on the back. Maybe HR instead, since some of the language is lifted from a former employee's (diplomatic) exit interview without his permission. The CEO promotes a yes-man culture by intimidating or firing people whose answers he doesn't like. As a result he has a dissembling do-nothing COO who actively alienates employees and a trail of disgruntled middle-managers and burnt-out developers. -Lack of communication between operations, sales, and development departments leaves employees unclear on what products actually exist, what features they have, and who to talk to to clear that up. Symmetrically, Devs often find themselves scrambling to make feature deadlines that were never discussed with them, and rapidly prototyping products that have already been sold as finished.
