Pros

*If you get stuck with a toxic team, the bright side is that a good portion of the company has really some of the kindest, smartest people I've ever encountered. *Food, health benefits, etc. are pretty good!

Cons

*Ineffective HR department: do not overcomplicate your life by trying to resolve issues internally with them. If you're facing harassment or discrimination, move on to another company. Retaliation? It's rampant and fairly widely accepted, so again, move on. It doesn't matter if you have written proof and 10 witnesses. It doesn't matter if the perpetrator is a bad leader, and incompetent at his/ her job. Gigster is all about "optics", and putting lipstick on a pig to cover up bad managers and toxic employees. *So much unconscious bias within the company, that it becomes obvious early on. The ones who unfailingly kiss butt and offer false flattery to the Gigster executive team, float to the top. The executive assistants, in particular, are the cause of many employees quitting from Gigster in the last year. They are master manipulators who use their position to gossip and backbite about other employees. *Gigster is still relatively new, and so unfortunately, you might get stuck with a manager who essentially hit the jackpot, by being an early employee at the company and rose through the (small) ranks because of that fact alone.
