Pros

You get to work on interesting and challenging projects. It’s a great job right out of college because you’ll work with highly intelligent people and learn good coding practices.

Cons

Low pay. The owner likes to convince young people out of college that this is where geniuses work and that they should take a pay cut for the privilege of working there.
