Pros

This company is the best for college aged kids, looking to party hard and work even harder. Nights, weekends, whatever it takes to meet deadlines, all fueled by high-fives and free alcohol. Sure the CEO is a bit emotional but that just means that he really loves his job. I can overlook that because they let me swear as much as I want in meetings. I work hard and let the leadership's friends make the big salaries and get promoted. They deserve it, they are loyal and will never leave, which is how you get promoted, from what I'm told. I'm working on improving my loyalty. I love the core values of the company because they keep us grounded yet are flexible when the leadership needs to get stuff done. Like restructure the company or throw an extravagant party, which are sick by the way. Everyone has fun at company parties and usually end in a hot tub. I also enjoy the policy of sharing hotel rooms on business trips.

Cons

The company is growing so fast that sometimes management has to encourage people to quit in order to support the growth. I don't quite understand it but that's what they tell us so I believe them.

Pros

smart people, iPads, free pens

Cons

Management hires and promotes their friends, college buddies. Executive team often guilty of inappropriate behavior both in the office and at company events. People with experience who want to implement industry proven best practices are met with resistance. Entry level college grads willing to work overtime thrive, employees with families treated as abnormal. Executive team makes decisions based on emotion which often changes each day. No value placed on user experience and design.
