Pros
They tend to pay in the higher range, but you do pay a price for that high salary!. They tend to give generous bonuses and if you are successful you will be given a yearly raise. I was impressed with my colleagues, most if not all of them were very smart and driven.
Cons
Toxic work environment. As discussed above, the pay is above avg, but you will be expected to work long hours depending upon your job function. During the interview process, you will be impressed at the level of employee involvement. They will ask smart questions and they will definitely present an image as if everyone is very excited about their jobs and the work environment. When I was there they loved to tout their high employee retention rate, I have heard that over the last 5 years the turnover rate has been quite high, driven in part by people leaving the company. The truth is that most everyone at the company is scared of the Pres, he is unhinged and if you are un-lucky enough to report to him, you are never sure which one of his personalities is going to show up that day! Be advised that on the outside he can appear to be somewhat charming and charismatic, but in reality he is a cunning little manipulator. If you are going to work as a part of the dev/ engineering team you will probably be OK- Any of the other divisions; PM, Marketing & Business Development I suggest you buckle up and be prepared, you will hit the ground running on day one. They are not a start-up but yet they act like one. The president is a typical entrepreneur who changes his mind quite often. If you are going to work at this company, I would suggest you have an open mind, be prepared for a very fast moving dynamic company. If you are coming from a larger company that has very established roles and processes, this will probably not be the right fit for you. As say they about New York City...If you can make it here you can make it anywhere! Good Luck!
