Pros

While growing larger each year it still retains the entrepreneurial spirit of a young company. The name looks great on the resume and business card. Great benefits. Employees are very intelligent and very pleasant to wok with.

Cons

There is little commitment to work/life balance, too many times 'help/training' comes in the form of "here's a place to start" and much of the training tends to be very high level while the knowledge needs to be very granular (for both employees and clients).

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
