Pros

I believe they paid me more than usual because they had to compensate for their bad ratings. So, I wasn’t paid badly there. If you are thinking about working here, ask for a good wage. I also liked the work. I think that this work was important work to do, and I liked being a part of it.

Cons

I was not treated with sincere respect working here. The CEO was consistently negative and overwhelming person who could not understand that some designs just do not work. I feared coming to work every day because I believe that everyone there was bullied and watched like a hawk by the CEO. Critiques were rude, harsh, and honestly a bit traumatizing. I was absolutely miserable all because of the CEO. And, I really liked my coworkers and the work I was doing, so the fact that one person ruined my experience really speaks volumes. I also didn’t get benefits, so there’s that.

Pros

Everyone at Mighty Engine has an interesting personality. The stress involved in a small marketing firm is offset by the joking around and the sense of camaraderie. There was, at least in my web developer position, lots of room for self-management, which was nice. A very flexible company in general, especially with things like doctors' appointments. At Mighty Engine, there seems to be a sort of trial period where management seems scary at first... but after getting to know you, they place a lot of trust in you and listen to your opinions. Employees are valued for their personalities, which shows in moments like birthday lunches. Also, it's a good place to work if you're worried about being too much of a weirdo for an office job :~)

Cons

Limited opportunities for technical mentorship — which is just 75% "con" because it just meant I had to learn how to self-educate. Also, design work seemed to be a bit stressful and involves staying late.
