Pros

...casual dress code? Free beer at 4 every day. Other than that I can’t really think of anything. Oh! There’s free medicine and tampons in the bathroom.

Cons

Poor management. Company cares more about drinking beer than running efficiently. Extremely unprofessional. The whole company runs on favoritism instead of performance.

Pros

High energy CEO who wants to do the right thing. Massive upside if they survive long enough.

Cons

Simply terrible technical and product leadership. A checked out CTO and a B-team of engineers just aren't going to drive the changes needed for this place to go to the next level.
