Pros

This is a fun place to work. The corporate culture is laid back, with a casual dress code and the office is dog friendly. There are lots of parties and celebrations with tons of free food. Most of the employees are in their 20's and early 30's, so there's a youthful, exciting vibe. They don't take themselves too seriously and promote a good work / life balance.

Cons

Despite how it portrays itself, this is a family business, with many people in positions of power directly related to the founder and CEO. The management team is a close knit group that looks out for each other and not everyone is qualified for their positions. It's also pretty obvious who among the employees gets recognition based on how they align themselves with management.

Pros

Lots of free food. Dog friendly. Casual dress code. A few really great people (and some not-so-great). Great about working from home in bad weather. It is often a fun place to work, but ...

Cons

Very low salaries, and company 401k contributions are dismal. Management shows favoritism toward certain individuals (mostly creatives). Non-creative staff gets little recognition. Many new hires (newly created positions) without clear definition of roles. No opportunities for advancement, and no training or professional development offered. Management is very unfocused (or more accurately, they change the focus frequently, or focus on small, insignificant things). Some in leadership roles are not qualified, or have an inflated sense of their expertise. Management and team leaders could do with some actual management training -- from outside. They moved to a new building in 2018 and have already outgrown the space.
