Pros

Nice location Free coffee, monthly staff lunches, fun parties - however they are more for clients than employees Casual work environment Decent benefit package

Cons

Considering the size of organization the turnover is very high. Employees are frustrated and feel undervalued. Owner has a big ego and does not interact with staff and can make them feel uncomfortable. He is "the boss" not a leader. Very aggressive growth plan but no strategy to reach growth goals besides buying successful companies at the end of the year in order to reach targets. Loads of system and data issues. No defined processes/documents. Company does not know how to manage projects. Poor execution and lack of planning of internal projects Too many meetings and priorities are constantly shifting Lack of transparency - Poor communications from upper management, Incompetent management – some lack experience and are not willing to put in the time and effort to make an impact, many not involved in the day-to-day HR is practically non-existent. Part-time consultant who does not deliver Bonuses are over promised since targets are stretched. Attendance is taken and they do not trust their employees. No flexibility. LOTS of office politics

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, nice office space, great employees.

Cons

This is a boys club! They had one female executive and got rid of her and replaced her with a man. There is 0 loyalty at this company. They have great people working for them but are cut throat and out for themselves. I've seen a massive amount of turnover since I started and the employees are often scared that they will be fired. The CEO is completely out of touch and a megalomaniac and has a terrible reputation.

Pros

Competitive compensation package, and health benefits, nice offices and work environment, excellent hiring practices and they've assembled a quality team of people.

Cons

Cut throat culture, ruthless dictator for a leader, in whispers around the office the CEO is referred to as Darth Vader. I think this company is a ponzi scheme. They keep buying up profitable companies to cover for their in-house deficiencies and keep the venture capital money rolling in. This company has zero loyalty to anyone, and if you're not a "yes man", and you think you can make a difference by sharing what you know, you'll be targeted as an irritant, and soon removed. It didn't happen to me like that, but I saw it happen many times.
