Pros

Cool office Brogrammer environment Impactful mission Hudson Square/Manhattan office location Free trips to Miami office (though office may have been eliminated) No HR department Management is transparent about high turnover during interview process. Group activities in NYC and sense of community Free breakfast Reasonable hours

Cons

Management doesn't know about or care about technology. Legacy software written in PHP - maintenance is a nightmare. Incredible amount of technical debt and no automated tests - this may be changing. Frequent product outages - this may be changing. High turnover - revolving door in all departments. Management wanted to force Miami employees to move to NYC on short notice or be terminated. Lean approach and low compensation - this may be changing No 401k or health insurance Political for a startup Try only if you are unemployed

Pros

The true meaning of start-up culture: a work family that you'll soon not forget.

Cons

Getting acquired by a larger company that was dense and unable to adapt beyond its antiquated business practices.

Pros

Worked at SD for a while and ended up leaving for a better offer due to lacking compensation + Free breakfast + Young and friendly co-workers + Nice (Soho) office + Innovative environment + Fun culture (expect to take a lot of shots) + Upper management will fund continuing education if you bring forward potential classes or events + Reasonable hours + Exposure to start-up culture and Saas products + Hard work and results are acknowledged by SVP & Accounts + If you prove yourself you will be given a shot to have more autonomy and (solely) a title increase

Cons

+ Upper management is not transparent whatsoever about large company decisions + Questionable spending of company funds (Kegorator?) rather than bonuses + At times, it can feel like your intentionally being bribed with booze to cover up the reality of lacking compensation and benefits + No equity for non-dev/engineering + No HR or vacation policy + High turnover + Antiquated understanding of company loyalty
