Pros

The deli next-door has good sandwiches. Sometimes you can leave like 5 minutes early. There's a refrigerator and free water.

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked. The rudest, most disrespectful and condescending management I have ever encountered in my life. No human being should speak to another human being the way management speaks to employees, especially in a professional work environment. Management constantly gets into intense personal-matter arguments that the entire office can hear, creating an incredibly uncomfortable work environment at all times. You get into trouble for doing exactly what you are told to do. You get into trouble for not doing what you never knew you were supposed to do. If you love yourself and value your sanity, never work for this company. P.S. That positive review written by an "intern" claiming that the company is wonderful and innovative, it was written by management, not an actual intern. You have been warned.

Pros

Uh... well, I worked there for a while and I did not die. I guess that's a pro, right? Am I at 20 words yet?

Cons

Wow, where to start? The project is essentially a vanity play of the CEO who got very lucky in an exit during the height of the dotcom boom in the early 00s. He has literally no idea what he is doing, how a startup works, or what he wants the product to be. Basically, the team is made up of people who can't find jobs in other places, so management (that is, the CEO) thinks that they can pay very little (which they do). Zero benefits of any kind. Zero paid time off. Will constantly dangle "equity" carrot in front of employees, but never actually execute. I've seen management set up impossible tasks for employees, simply as an excuse to fire them when they fail. Management has no idea what it wants the product to be, so they never decide on anything. Meetings lead to meetings lea to meetings, and then the CEO gets this GREAT idea and scraps everything and suddenly two weeks' worth of work is down the drain. Then, you'll end up working a ton of hours with no light at the end of the tunnel, because the milestone gets thrown out. Management consists of the CEO's friends from Israel who have no idea what they are doing. Exploitative use of unpaid interns is rampant, as is misclassification of employees as contractors. Did I mention that management is extremely cheap? Literally zero chance of career development or advancement.

Pros

Most of the employees were good people, and kept the otherwise bleak and pathetic surroundings and company "policies" with good humor. Misery loves company, I suppose.

Cons

The company's policy and concerns have little to do with accuracy and professionalism–it's quantity over quality, considering the company is giving/selling health/exercise advice which is largely just repackaged half-thought random internet "research" by equally apathetic fresh out of college youth. That's simply unethical and socially and morally irresponsible–you're publishing health advice to "experts" and "professionals" as a "expert/professional" which are nothing more than cheap magazine-esque articles. Wikipedia doesn't count as real research, and neither do articles in things like "Men's Health." Somehow, the company doesn't seem to care (mostly the CEO who is too busy trying to convince hapless investors in the company).
