Pros

It's a small team, so you can expect to be able to learn in a variety of ways. Also, because it is a small company, it is easier to interact with upper management. The facility is fairly large and there is ample space.

Cons

This is the definition of a soul crushing job. In the years I have worked there, almost all of my coworkers have been extremely depressed with their jobs. The company is small but you'll see at least 2 or so people leave every month. Alot of people leave after less than a year. There are also many instances where people just walk out within a week of being hired and just never come back. It's that bad. This is mostly because people aren't valued at DiCon. Management makes it very clear that employees are expendable. The style of management here is to pinpoint anything remotely wrong and never reward a job well done. Another huge issue is that job responsibilities can become really vague. It's a small company and because so many people leave, the remaining employees are often left to handle everything. Of course, these employees are never compensated for doing extra and they just get taken advantage of by DiCon. All this means that most of the talent moves on (who wouldn't if they had a choice?), and the company is left with people who don't really care and are just there for the paycheck. Things move really slowly with the company because alot of those people don't care to do their job to the best of their ability and because of the shortage of people.

Pros

On paper, compensation may not be as high as other tech companies, but considering it's based in East Bay with lower housing costs and no need to commute (unless you want to live further away in more expensive places), their pay is probably on par. People are expected to show up at work at 9am, which may seem like micro-management. Sure it's nice to get into work any time you want to and "work from home" when you feel like (neither are allowed). But having worked at places where those freedoms are allowed, after couple years it actually gets frustrating because 1. you see some co-workers not taking their job seriously 2. not everyone gets the same freedom. So looking back I see their approach as a good thing because everyone is treated equally as far as work schedule is concerned.

Cons

There are a lot of 1 person departments/teams here. So you can be asked to be jack of all trades just because no one else knows how or wants to do a certain task. The consequence is you don't really get to develop and excel in one area. It could hamper career development if you plan on moving on else where.
