Pros

I've never had a job where I enjoy going to work every day and seeing everyone I work with, until ShipStation. The work environment is great (startup), and benefits are awesome. Management is very approachable and always willing to help. They provide you with a Macbook and your own Geek Desk so you can stand while you work. They encourage us to order snacks and beverages every week, which is all free. ShipStation also feeds us at least once a week and gives us beer on Fridays! Oh, and the support/sales teams get to shoot nerf gun darts every Friday for cash. There is also a lot of opportunity for growth if you work hard. They really look for people who are self-motivated and think outside the box. The company is growing really fast so new positions do become available. They typically promote from within as well.

Cons

The volume of work is a bit intense. I think some people feel that they are overworked and/or underappreciated. It's part of working in the customer service industry though. I'll take being busy over being bored any day.

Pros

Cutting/occasionally bleeding edge technology stack, novel ideas enouraged, they give you plenty of rope, management does what they say they are going to do and keep their committments. Not sure about all the negativity in some of these reviews. In my experience the CEO and other mgrs are deeply interested in employee satistaction despite being blunt and too the point. Everytime I was told something, my mgr and the CEO made it happen in less time than promised and everyone was trying very hard to satisfy all employees...no easy task. At the end of the day it's a fast paced vertical but probably the best job I've had. I had to make a change to satisfy some family obligations. Challenging, fun, with spot on leadership.

Cons

Occasionally leave employees too much to their own devices and criticize after the fact. Mgt occasionally interjects itself into the dev process leading to duplication of effort and confusion for employees. Organizational size and structure leaves little room for advancement, however to be fair, when a new position opens up, internal folks get first shot which is nice. I would expect this last point will chance with continued growth and evolution.
