Pros
Development team are a great bunch of people, some of whom I still keep in touch with to this day. Application architecture is cutting edge and fun to work with. Great location at the edge of the Exchange District.
Cons
Expected to put in "extra" hours on a regular basis regardless of urgency as an unspoken rule, contrary to what was contained in the work contract and despite being already underpaid. CTO regularly uses bullying tactics to "motivate" those he's chosen to be on his radar. Lacks respect for people. CTO has no sense of priority and direction and lacks the necessary skill sets to effectively run a team of creative professionals. Always prefers fast and ad-hoc solutions over correct ones that are reviewed and tested. Unable to effectively keep track of and maintain requirements which has resulted in unnecessary rollbacks of code revisions.
