Pros

They paid well and had high end parties. Good benefits.

Cons

Two to four people crammed into each office (depending on size of office) with no partitions. Hostile, aggressive schedules. Founders / top management overly focused on frantic pace and no interest in evolving to sane workplace. Management created competitive situations rather than teamwork. High turnover of employees, including management. Procedures nearly non-existent, they would have 'slowed things down too much'.

Pros

Great benefits of a big company but learning opportunities like a small company. Major improvement in process and culture. Very encouraging and non-political environment.

Cons

:Lots of work ahead and hence need to add more resources

Pros

If you stayed long enough for the Acquisition you got an early Christmas bonus. If you were a CEO or CTO you actually made real money on the deal. I was not a C level....But it was a "Pro" because who thinks money is bad no matter what the denomination?

Cons

Senior Management was awful here. These people were definitely in the right market at the right time, better to be lucky then good? I was constantly being negatively questioned, told that what I was doing was wrong, or that my opinion was not valid by people that literally had less experience if any at that then myself or any other team member on any given subject. This was very frustrating, semi insane, and borderline hostile on a weekly basis. No trust in employee's, literally like they shut down the WiFi. Questionable accounting practices that leave you holding the bag come tax time on commissions (with no warning). Senior management that should really be at the Director level, Senior Directors that should be Senior Managers, etc... Just a company that seemed to live in it's own world at times. I left on my own free will so not a super disgruntled person that was fired but just reflective now that a few months have passed.
