Pros

The staff were amazing! Helpful, talented, empathetic, brilliant, willing to teach and to listen. The product we were building was important, used by so many developers every day.

Cons

New management (Bogensberger and co.) has wrecked the company. They have driven off the best staff, accomplished nothing, destroyed the culture, and consistently treated people without respect. They have no clue how to monetize the business, what made it special to begin with, and seem like they're hoping to sell it for parts at this point.

Pros

Wonderful, friendly, bright, diverse coworkers. Exceptional CTO. The company is amazing and will pay likely pay off well--if you get to vest your options.

Cons

Before you accept a position, get a clause in your stock options that they begin vesting immediately, because several employees were let go in the past 12 months, before they had time to vest. This is difficult if you assume that the stock options will actually happen when negotiating your salary. It is a startup, after all. Let the employee be wary! Be sure to have extremely clear communications from your manager about what is expected, because managers are extremely busy and knowing exactly what is wanted will be critical to your success. Do not make assumptions based on what was expected at prior jobs, npm is unique.
