Pros

the people are the best I've ever worked with. I still keep in contact with most of them. would jump at a chance to work with them again . sometimes they would buy lunches and provide cool classes on software every few.months.

Cons

they used to allow dogs but then one freelancer brought in brought in her dog Zoe every day and basically ruined it for the rest of us so now, no more dogs . tend to be over worked because one if the owners makes these ridiculous last min changes while product is being made . costly changes that could be been avoided. I came in on weekends on my own just to try and catch up. I even worked on my vacation. and still got thrown under the bus by my manager . it gives a whole new.meaning to two steps forward, one step back.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
