Pros

Nothing neither pay nor work-life balance.

Cons

Worst Company I have seen in my career. The work culture was very competitive and cut-throat. They evaluate the work every 2 weeks and display the bottom developer's names on every floor and fire them suddenly after 3 months. Executive and management staff always encouraged employees to work harder - longer hours. No work/life balance. No bonus share or bonus, no overtimes, no college tuition, no family program etc. In one word 'STRESSFUL' not at all recommended.

Pros

You have the opportunity to make a lot of money (don't worry, you'll be reminded of that everyday, 10x a day). Training is extensive, but very well done and informative. You can meet some really great people, and the opportunity to be promoted quickly is at your disposal. The health benefits are great and extremely cheap. In terms of income, you will crush it, IF you survive.

Cons

Be prepared to be treated like nothing more than a body who generates revenue. Even when you are doing exceptionally well, you will fear for your job security every single day. Managers will stroke your ego one day, and the next you're on the chopping block for something insignificant. There is absolutely no flexibility. Ever. Work-life balance will be thrust down your throat as a mission of the company, but they won't do anything about it. The PTO policy is next to nothing, but don't worry, you'll be too afraid to use it. Be willing to receive texts from your office group chat from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m. I saw amazing, hard-working, intelligent people cry daily. This job took my soul out of me and by the time I left, I didn't even recognize myself. Just know what you're getting yourself into. If making a ton of money at the cost of your sanity and soul is worth it to you, by all means go for it - you have the opportunity. Just do your homework first, the negative reviews are here for a reason.
