Pros

Smart people - they even have weekly tech team meetings where people give presentations of their technical work, and teams will share with each other little things that they learned during the last week. Strong codebase - they do care about the quality of their code. Ability to work remotely - always a plus. People seem to be very "people-perceptive" - they will share notes about their relationship status with their clients with the whole company. This is a double-edged sword though - see below.

Cons

Do not communicate expectations clearly - as even they say, they "don't do a lot of management". You are however responsible for those expectiations. Onboarding is "drinking through a fire hose". Want to know deeply about employees (the interview process was probably more personal than most other companies' interview processes), but don't be fooled into thinking this disclosure may not cost you - it did cost me. Be careful about what you share with them. I was particularly hurt by the fact that the CEO said they'd work with employees in a rough stretch, even giving them a sabbatical if need be, and yet when I went through a hard time I was terminated suddenly - by the time I was told I was in danger of being let go, I think the decision was already made. Pay is rather low relative to expectations (in full disclosure, I didn't get a year-end bonus payment, so I don't know what that is typically) Overall, this is not a good first (or second) job. Only recommended for those who have mature development careers, aren't optimizing pay, and/or looking for a remote position - and most people who succeed at GSG fit that profile.

Our CEO, Myles Harrington, asked me to pass along the following note: As the CEO I stand by my commitment to "work with employees in a rough stretch". We have done so in the past and we will continue doing so in the future. Without going into your personal circumstances, I think there may be one essential point of disagreement: whether you were alerted to the "danger of being let go" well in advance of being "terminated suddenly". Regardless, the simple fact that you feel hurt, that you feel you suffered an injustice, is sufficient to convince me we failed to act fully in accord with our personalist philosophy. I apologize.

Cons

sink or swim, mouth to the fire hose, poor on-boarding training, expect you to know what questions to ask, no 401k matching
