Pros
* Nice (over-sized) office * Good snacks / catering * Good comp * REALLY brilliant CRO & CPO
Cons
* Not a great product or vision; company has been around for a while and isn't going anywhere any time soon * High voluntary turnover (because of the above) * CEO has good, competent directs but he overrules them constantly and makes bad calls * Confusion of the PubNub name with another "well-known" website creates a distraction in the market * VERY bureaucratic for such a small company; very hard to bring on new vendors and "GSD" which is ironic because there is a team called "GSD" * No career advancement * I can't believe that I'm saying this, but there is not enough bathroom capacity - this is a REAL problem, not kidding! * A high degree of off-shoring and out-sourcing - Company opened up an office and is laying off good employees to take advantage of the cheaper labor - Marketing is outsourcing a lot of its work * Few benefits (even by startup standards) To be honest, I am surprised that the VCs have continued to put money into this thing - don't expect any return on this investment!
