Pros

The office space was very modern and cool. We had TWO ping pong tables. Bagel Friday was nice. The other benefit was the other people I worked with (non managers).

Cons

The directors are terrified of upper management. They put so much pressure that employees new to the management field can't implement anything they want. There were multiple occasions and stories of employees having to work well into the late night because of pressures from C-Level management on last minute projects completely crippling any authority direct managers might have. The company refused to purchase any learning resources for our company. Multiple times our managers would get a free trial to a learning service like pluralsight and after the trial ran out, we lost that valuable resource. I've heard almost an entire floor of designers and developers are gone from their massive hiring in 2014.
