Pros

Nice building. Since they don't pay well they offer you free soda, water and snacks to keep you full while at work [can't afford to go downstairs to the cafe for lunch].

Cons

They pay their employees a bare-bones salary and tout the stock to use as income. The CEO micromanages everything in the company and everyone is afraid of her. No one there can think for themselves and HR is nonexistent. Their practices as a company are questionable at a minimum. Ask any former employee what it is like to work there.
