Pros

Free snacks One of the only places that still hires entry level techs Exciting technology if you're a techie

Cons

Lots of inexperience people in top positions The pay is ridiculous, gain experience here and leave, you'd get paid more working at Walmart Lack of communication between teams and unrealistic expectations for people being paid so little. This place is ran by people who wouldn't get a job anywhere else.
