Pros

Great people. Great benefits (gym membership matched), kitchen with free snacks. Can often work from home.

Cons

High turnover, no effort to retain employees, no upward ladder, terrible pay (30%) lower than market, you're overworked with no overtime pay, long hours often, unequal treatment of women. Leadership is inconsistent: one minute you're told to do (A), the next you're chastised for not doing the opposite. Work from home is available but not encouraged, even when you have to work overtime with no overtime pay.

Pros

No previous experience needed for the job position. Acceptable salary for those who are not skilled yet. It's a great place to learn the basics of development flows and product creation cycles (if you're lucky to have experienced and knowledgeable people in your team, since some of them will just talk and give you no valuable information whatsoever).

Cons

There is no advancement in the career. No opportunity to gain new skills. Improvement on the company level is only switching to a bigger office, and hiring vast numbers of new people and increasing the number of total employees. Tendency to neglect basic social needs, prohibiting the communication between people, promoting unhealthy human relations based on stepping over others to gain favor in the eyes of those who are on the higher position. Discrimination is high even though the managing team will tell you otherwise. You cannot be who you are, you have to be mindless and subdued, and just follow what you're told. You cannot freely state your opinion about the simplest personal tastes. Communication with the Italian team is really a big problem, you cannot say anything that is productive or inventive because of the general opinion that you do not know, will not know how to do the job, despite the fact you are actually doing the job, the one they should be doing.

Pros

Met a lot of smart people in the beginning, learned a lot about the industry (mobile web sites) as it was relevant when I started in 2012. Learned to thrive under pressure with a large client base and at the time under great leaders (Client Services management team) as well. Made some great friends, had some good parties.

Cons

Made to feel undeserving when asking for a raise or requesting a meeting to discuss the possibility of a raise. The hush hush mentality of "upper management" is concerning for not only the direction of the company but the value of the employees. Employee morale has turned a bit depressing. No clear direction as to forward movement with the company. ** Note to current employees, if you plan to leave for another opportunity, and have worked through the quarter, rightfully earning your bonus... let it be known that if you are not employed the day the check comes to you will NOT get your bonus! i.e. When your final check comes after you have left you will receive your salary payment, but not the bonus.
