Pros

One of the things I loved the most about working at HackerX was that I felt like my work mattered - because the team was so small when I started (there were only like 7 of us back then), my work every day had a big impact on the company, and that was a good feeling. The environment is cozy, collaborative, and exciting, especially if you love to travel.

Cons

There isn't a whole lot of room to grow upwards unfortunately due to its small size - I went from being an unpaid intern to getting paid hourly after a few months, so that was a nice little promotion...but other than that, they don't need tons of people in management so there are not a lot of long-term career prospects. Additionally (depending on what you do), the work can be quite repetitive, but you'll find that in virtually any entry level job.

Pros

I really enjoyed working and learning from the people around me. They do only hire nice people which is a big plus. Lunch is provided on most days which is a plus. Lots of travel and leadership opportunities as you sell and manage your own events.

Cons

You must work extra hours to meet your quota (and pay to live in SF), as you are paid directly from the events that you sell. The company is small and doesn't have a lot of room for you to grow into so you will be looking at leaving the company within 1 to 2 years of working for the company to take the next step in your career.
