Pros

I was able to quickly prove myself capable and take on large amounts of responsibility. I wanted to work at a place where I could take ownership of a product and not just be a minion. Work hours are flexible, but results are of course expected. People are free to work from home when they need to, no problem. The office space is very casual and the kegerator is a huge plus.

Cons

Probably typical for a startup, but product ideas are implemented ad-hoc. The good news is the management has identified and is working to fix this problem, which is great for the company.

Pros

I enjoyed the work that I did and what the company stood for. It is an exciting venture and you feel like you're contributing positively to society.

Cons

Poor management, pay and super high turnover. I really attribute this to the lack of experience in the upper management levels. It's unfortunate because you THINK that you are working for a startup so the atmosphere will be collaborative, you'll have autonomy and room to be creative. You don't. It's a very tightly run ship and one where managers do not trust their employees. You are literally being watched from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Even coffee breaks are timed and you'll get dinged if they think you 'take too long'. During the massive hurricane and blackout last year employees without electricity were told to respond faster to emails - ridiculous! So, warning to those looking to work here - it's like working in a highly micromanaged environment where the goals are always changing and you're never trusted. Lots of secrecy too - just not an environment I enjoyed. Everyone I know that worked there was looking to leave. The pay is also bad - they are extremely cheap.
