Pay isn't worth it

Pros

People have heard of Blue.

Cons

When applying elsewhere it was viewed as a red flag because of assumption that working at Blue is slow. The output is slow, but there are so many people working hard for very little too show. The lack of output is due to mismanagement and not individual contributors.

Pros

Salary, free snacks and occasionally food catered in.

Cons

Low raises. Very, very low potential to move up the ladder. They will lay you off before you become vested in the 401K match and then claw that money back from Fidelity. It takes 3 years to become vested. I was laid off just a few months shy of that and lost all company matching funds.
