Pros

You get a lot of experience in a short amount of time. Come prepared to hit the ground running and dive in head first.

Cons

If you dive in head first, don't expect management to forgive mistakes or save you. People are expected to know how to do everything, but without formal training or previous experience. And don't anticipate actually receiving any of the information you need ahead of time (lots of unsaid expectations and lack of communication across groups on status or deliverables). Raises are generally around 1-2% (if that).

Pros

Great Pay, Flexible shift and ability to telecommute. Solid fun team oriented company. Truly the work hard, play hard company. Awesome SLT. The CEO is a bull that knows what he wants and how to effectively get it done.

Cons

No stock Offerings. No true bonus structure. You must be selected on a quarterly basis for a possible $500 bonus. Lack of written process and procedures.

Pros

Mblox acquired the small start-up company I worked at in mid-2014. I felt support from the executive team for our product and go-to-market strategy and embraced by the Mblox sales team, who made concerted effort to quickly become knowledgeable on our product offering, reach out to potential customers and drive sales. I appreciated their flexible telecommuting policy.

Cons

Although our original team of developers worked independently from the rest of the organization, there were times when we needed support from the Mblox engineering and developer teams. Getting their attention was often difficult. However, I believe that was primarily due to those teams being extremely busy on a large and complicated top-priority initiative. Multiple locations in different time zones and countries made communication and coordination difficult at times. I definitely had the sense that Mblox was coming out of a difficult period, from the previous year or two before I joined, when many employees left and the headquarters moved from Silicon Valley to Atlanta. Roles and communication were not as organized as they should be, but I saw substantial progress during my time at the company and left feeling like things were moving in a positive direction.
