Pros

free beer and snacks are not substitute for unsatisfying work. laid back, no formal dress code, frequent company parties and outings, good benefits

Cons

company is run by kids fresh out of college with no real world work experience. 85% + are under 25, first job out of college, young employees with bad attitudes. Management in not existent, zero direction or transparency of what is going on. you are expected to come up on your own with things to work on, things to do, and you will be penalized if its deemed not to par. open office, zero privacy, clicky environment, promotions are given based on bro status, rather than merit. super ciloed environment, get ready to work on one or 2 things and forget most of your skills.
