      Pros

      Company appears to be on a good trajectory and is well managed. CEO does good job of communicating vision of company. Nice cash bonuses.

      Cons

      Very short-term, tactically focused. What have you done for me lately attitude. No opportunity for wealth creation through stock program. If you were not part of the pre-IPO then you don't really have a chance to share the wealth. Have been bringing in a lot of external management that have not panned out.

      This is a terrible place to work for.

      Pros

      They pay well compared to similar positions in other companies. The interview process was quite easy. Free food twice a week and good colleagues to bond with.

      Cons

      The place is very top heavy with management. Too little worker bees. Departments rarely communicate with each other. All the time, planning is done too little and too late so execution is poor. The company runs like a sprinter, not a marathon runner. Seems like they are trying to always take short cuts in hopes of lasting just long enough for a buyout. Also, be aware there is a lot of back stabbing and there are defined cliques in the company. New hires be aware.
