Pros

the only redeeming value of working here was meeting some of the people that will later on help you find a job after they too have moved on from this hell hole.

Cons

oh where to start? the CEO is verbally abusive. lunch was purchased by the CEO but to keep employees inside working on a product that is by no means innovative, visionary or "game changing". benefits were a joke. you want to know about office office culture?: unless you are a sadist and/or masochist there is absolutely no reason as to why you would want to get up in the morning and actually head in to the office. At the end of the day the money isn't worth it, considering you may not even get paid when you are supposed to. The person who previously wrote that there is a "collegiate vibe" is absolutely correct if they are referring to a frat/sorority that has endless hazing 24/7. i have no idea where they are getting money to actually pay people considering no one has ever seen or met the investors and the product is free. a "start up" that has been around for 3+ years and has 1 part time developer (or at least did when i worked there) is the absolute worst allocation of talent. the post "chiming in on fake reviews" was clearly written by the CEO as it is clearly a sales pitch and not an actual review of the company or the environment. just writing this review is giving me PTSD. stay far far away from this company, if you are desperate for a job be a dog walker.

I too found this to be the worst place I've ever worked and not even close.

Pros

The only pro to this job was office location.

Cons

I really wish I had the reviews before accepting an offer at this place. They couldn't be more spot on. Highly un-professional work environment. Lacked basic human resources. As another wrote, even getting your paycheck is an issue. Product lacks stability. Micro-managing. Lying to clients, or prospective clients, about the product and it's stability is encouraged. Office phone rings non-stop with phone calls from creditors, while you're forced to act as the buffer by CEO. Verbal altercations, bullying tactics, between CEO and employees/contractors were prevalent daily. About one employee or contractor per week walked out, after a verbal or sometimes even physical altercation instigated by CEO.

Pros

Other than the office being very well situated - can't possibly think of anything else.

Cons

CEO/founder is unfit for the job. Not a leader, not a driver, not a visionary and has no control over his abusive nature. Big problem as such a small company.
