Pros

As I understand, it was through Nepotism ( a well-connected high school friend that gave him good connections) that the CEO was able to secure a couple of good clients

Cons

This is the most unstructured, ego-driven, toxic work environment where it pays to play in the boys club. Women are treated like glorified secretaries, creatives are intimidated into submission, and hot-headed bullies are promoted for their "creativity." Working here is akin to a down-spiraling alcoholic's bender in Vegas, and although figurative, it's pretty close to literal, too. If the Microsoft client knew the underpinnings of how the CEO/CCO treat the staff, they'd be shocked and pull out their business. The alcohol-fueled creative leadership has terrible management skills and will run unnecessary fire drills, completely shift direction on projects the client has already approved, will make inappropriate comments regularly. There's no work-life balance.

Pros

- Extreme transparency and openness about the business and how it functions. - 10/10 work-life balance. - Unlimited PTO (yes it actually gets approved unless you don't get your work done or slack) - No business laugh and talk about the weather. Everyone is real here and cares about how you are doing. - Coffee is solid. None of that acidic or plastic stuff. - Dogs are allowed. My first week here i was greeted by a dog. That was new and exciting. lol

Cons

- I basically hit the ground running. That meant little introduction to the formal process. Im coming along now. But it was odd to not have a company workflow to follow and follow my own for a bit.
