Pros

This company has potential but all of the breathless hyping of results has made it a bit of a joke. One only need look at the cratered stock post IPO, down by 75% and sporting a Very Bearish 0.2 overall rating by all analysts on a 0-10 scale. You can't get much lower than that. Throw in a class action lawsuit over fraudulent practices regarding inventory and this isn't quite the visionary winner management makes it out to be.

Cons

Really difficult and nasty office politics, major favoritism played by senior sales management. Everyone is expected to drink the Rocket Fuel flavored Kool Aid and not question poor management practices or god help you disagree with thin skinned middle management. If you're young and moldable and don't mind being a yes man you'll likely do ok here. If you have a spine and a mind of your own and any meaningful experience in the industry, steer well clear of this company, there are many other great alternatives
