Pros

- The instances where I could get to know the employees on a personal level was great. - Open environment for the lower-level employees - Big office for amount of people working - Ping-pong table available for use

Cons

- Favoritism is rampant, especially for those given a title greater than yours - Upper management experience was for failed or no-name companies, which resulted in poor decisions that ultimately turned into setbacks - Certain people were allowed special privileges, such as working from home - Key deciding factors aren't based on performance, but experience was from 10 years ago - Some coworkers do not practice good office manners, and creepily try to hit on fellow employees - Managers deflect blame for their actions, which resulted in them riding employees to exhaustion - All the higher-ups are not well-versed in new age technologies - Employees need to be mindless, following upper management's rule, or management takes that as intolerance

Pros

+ The idea of the store as well as the concept and product overall is good. + Typical startup perks: Free food, drinks, parties. + 10 days PTO + floating holidays. + Colleagues and managers for the most part were very nice. + Nice office. Top-notch hardware and software. + Pay is typical for a startup, but less than most companies.

Cons

- Company focus and ideas are in the wrong direction. Lots of time was wasted chasing after the pie in the sky ideas, and after the wrong type of clients and consumers. - Focusing on and fixing the obvious was ignored in favor of irrelevant and pointless projects while longstanding issues and problems were constantly ignored and left to fester. - Despite giving appearances of such, management did not listen to suggestions. - More of a stilted corporate environment than that of a startup. - Despite giving appearances of such, its very much a top down/trickle down management. - Zero and disallowed communication between the US and European offices beyond the CEO. Leads back to previous post on top-down management. - Very high employee turnover. Hardly anyone from the original team from one year ago is there. You will see lots of people quit during your time there. -No clear promotion or raise track for employees in some divisions and departments.
