Pros

- Adequate concept for product - Salaries above average - Some nice people who are reasonably intelligent - Some tech buzzwords to add to your CV

Cons

- Poor engineering culture - lack of code ownership, insufficient/almost non-existent testing, disregard of frameworks and technical debt to the roof - Lack of company culture, extreme disorganisaton, as a result staff demotivation is at an all time high - Arrogant and inexperienced personnel employed in all areas of the business, particularly but not exclusively in the middle management and engineering teams - A non-technical CTO is employed, who has no respect for the engineers unless you are one of his "chosen ones" - and very few are. Their baby, Hailo 2.0, will be in fact a case study... on how not to do things! - Continuous mind games being played, critics are either ignored, trolled or bullied and slowly pushed out - Significantly smaller than public perception, traffic is the wrong word to use, the impression given that you will deal with a vast amount of data is completely false.
