Pros

They've got some great people there and there's cool toys to play with. Occasional catered lunches and company outings. High turnover so good chances for quick advancement to a senior level. If you don't want to code can easily spend a day in meetings instead.

Cons

Three founders never seem to agree on priorities and pull employees in different directions. Processes are put into place then ignored by upper management. Different departments become silo-ed, always trying to play the blame game when things go wrong rather than trying to solve problems. Equipment is nickle-and-dimed with many devs using personal laptopts. Meetings about meetings on how to reduce meetings.

I wish we had more travel and tourism-based clients, but other than that, I loved working at Youvisit.

Pros

Fun and interesting technology Casual office, typical of the tech industry in NYC Was on a team with really wonderful and smart people

Cons

Disorganization at the c-suite level. CTO, CEO, and CFO all seemed to want different things and push their own agenda, which in turn trickled down to the teams that reported to them respectively, often times with major oversights and conflicts that had real consequences for both employees and clients No real company culture and lots of 'rah rah!' talk about working together as one company but then focuses were almost immediately shifted to one team or another. No real foresight about the ability to grow and scale a company like this - more and more clients were being brought on but there was not nearly enough staff being hired to manage it and current employees were overloaded then penalized for not being able to keep up if something fell through the cracks. Little to no career development or opportunity for advancement. Compensation was a bit of a joke - while medical/dental/vision premiums were covered 100%, the plans themselves were garbage, no 401K or retirement plans, no equity, and low starting salaries for the experience/skills needed. The office space itself was not modern, pretty dirty/unkempt, and often times reeked because of the plumbing issues in the building.
