Pros
some of the people are nice pay is average or almost average
Cons
extremely long hours, especially in IT and Engineering extremely unstable and poorly architected/designed platform and network senior management is clearly more interested in getting more rounds of funding from investors than in producing a good product and seems to only care about getting to the IPO so they can make off with their golden parachutes PTO policy is only average and time off requests are regularly refused any and all criticism or suggestions for improvement are seen as being negative and result in employees being castigated - once new employees realize this, they simply clam up to protect themselves and start looking to leave the company (as I am) CTO writes most of the code himself, which goes a long way to explaining why 1- suggestions for improvements aren't taken in a positive light and 2- the coompany's technology footprint has no clear future plans and is so unstable all the micromanaging, lack of leadership and uncertainty about the future leads to a lot of tense feelings within the company All conversations concerning improving the company end with the same statement - "But that's not the ER way." - which just shuts down all discussion.
