Pros

Since it's a startup there are a lot of opportunities to learn new things and work on different projects. As others have said, there's free daily lunch if that's important to you. One of the most surprising things is how amazing the staff is and how happy everyone looks even though many of them are unsatisfied.

Cons

If you take a close look at all the reviews you'll notice a pattern. Most reviews with employment lasting more than one year are negative and the ones that are less than one year are positive. That's because they ask employees to post a review as soon as a week into employment, while they're still in the honeymoon phase. The founders are absolute micromanagers, don't trust anyone and have big egos. The wife goes around shaming people publicly, gossiping to pretty much everyone and creating drama out of nothing. There is also little sense of direction and strategy changes at the founder's whim. They pretty much don't trust anyone but themselves and their daughter (who also works there) and though they try to act like the company's success wouldn't be possible without each and every employee, their insincerity is obvious.

ZERO TRUST FOR EMPLOYEES

Pros

Free catered lunch Good healthcare

Cons

DO NOT WORK HERE! Upper management is an absolute nightmare. They will micromanage, start unnecessary fires every day, are disorganized and do not have a strong business sense. If you have an opposing view from them not only will you be shot down but then gossiped about behind your back. It's encouraged to snitch on other people's working habits and their whereabouts (butts in seats, lunch length times, when you show up/leave). There is ZERO TRUST for employees. Do not believe them when they say this is a collaborative working environment. They often blame their poor management style on start-up culture, but as someone who's worked for many start-ups, I can tell you that it's just poor management.

Pros

The product is one you can be proud to be apart of the team behind it. If you are young and inexperienced, can keep your head down and mouth shut, it is a place you can gain a year or two of experience for your resume.

Cons

Not family or kid friendly, priority is always expected to be the job. Culture is to get ahead by any means necessary in all things. Trust no one; no one is a friend. Regardless of hard work and long hours, do not expect promotions or raises, favoritism not performance is the measurement used.
