Pros

Great people to work with Unusual perks - Starbucks, skateboards, massages, fresh organic fruit Good for entry level positions and Temp jobs Occasional "fun" activities to socialize with co-workers

Cons

Each year as the company gets bigger, the importance of the individual lessens and goals fade No clear management standards or feedback system - promotes and retains unqualified managers Long hours, no work-life balance Human Resources Dept completely unhelpful and will not intervene when needed Less and less "Fun" activities and events, and more often expected to work Holidays and unpaid overtime (typically 50 - 60 hours a week without any pay over 40 - the hours are logged, just not paid) CEO speaks about his values, goals and how the company caters to each individual, but makes empty promises and false hopes Employees tend to be promoted based on years with the company rather than how well they qualify
