Pros

Very technology-oriented, innovative, resourceful, helpful, youthful, friendly & competent staff engaged with industry (its own & clients'), technology & methodologies. Culture emphasizes constant technological advancement & innovation with the latest technology being at least analyzed, often tested & possibly used depending on your start-up self-initiative. Self-initiative & ambitiousness determine your success here with every possible technological edge desired to stay competitive in a crowded market, both in terms of NYC, SoHo start-ups, & e-commerce.

Cons

Their contract forbids disclosing cons so. I say for myself that I dislike very long hours, high-stress/high-pressure/defensive environment, very few & non-negotiable vacation days & no sick days/floating holidays.

Pros

Not a bad place as your first job. There is no office so everyone is remote (can be a con for some).

Cons

It’s a small company, so benefits suck - be ready to pay a lot for health insurance if you want a decent plan. They are very strict with time tracking and get very micromanagy with it. Upper management can be secretive and sometimes you don’t find out about major changes (such as layoffs) until the very last minute. They are quick to fire people as soon as projects end or they lose a client, which doesn’t do any good for morale or employees’ mental health.
