Pros

Okay so let's start with culture, you're an Alkamist not an employee. The guiding principles of the company are actually observed, and they're important. I hope you like food, because we have huge lunches every day (the new caterers aren't as good as the restaurants that used to, but its still free). Oh free sodas and snacks too. You're going to make friends, and we're going to stick with you. We are growing! You're joining a company that's headed up from the ground floor to the penthouse. You get some cool benefits, and they now match 401K contributions. Unlimited PTO is performance based, do a good job get as much time off as you need, don't and you'll find requests may get denied (I feel this is fair). Company parties are awesome, both departmental and company wide. Plus they like to give gifts. You will celebrate milestones, birthdays, anniversaries, and first Fridays. Your salary will be fairly matched against the industry, it won't be some glamorous Warran Buffet money but its good.

Cons

Yes releases can be bad, and yes people are right here about us introducing bugs. Guess what? Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and even Amazon have had bugs. Clients can be needy, which sometimes is made worse by their Account Exec. It's not the end of the world but its stressful. Inter-departmental communication needs help.

Very difficult work / life balance

Pros

Decent health benefits, unlimited vacation time, passionate and talented co-workers, standing desks, catered lunches, team building events.

Cons

Company maintains high speed start-up mentality without consideration of extensibility and limited processes in place despite how large it's grown. Micro management, some managers lack management skills, management by fear, and management by crisis tends to be the norm. High stress environment created by managers, long hours with nights and weekends required to keep up with client commitments. New hires expected to learn product and complex work quickly via hundreds of JIRA tickets. High turnover rate with Product Owners and Project Managers. Accountability lacking between departments with escalations often required for crucial tasks to get accomplished. Ability to take and or enjoy any said unlimited vacation is rare due to previously noted items.
