Pros

It paid pretty well for as long as it lasted.

Cons

The usual Carnegie method is to hire a lot of high-priced contractors (at different companies) to do the new cool project. They fail to supervise them and then the contractors deliver non-functional pieces of junk. Then they want the lowly employees to turn the junk into a sellable product (with an enormous amount of bureaucratic procedures). When the employees fail to do that quickly, they are laid off. Rinse and repeat. P.S. They have almost no customers, despite being in "business" for several years.

Pros

Innovative and creative. Truly a start-up that listens to new ideas and upper management has an open door that invites collaboration. There is zero micro-managing which is great, but because of the several projects in the works upper management can be a little distant. Your voice is heard, your work is appreciated, it was a great learning experience to the inside and out of how new projects/ideas can be launched and take off. You feel very well respected and appreciated. The morale is amazing.

Cons

Onboarding was a pain and pretty much self-taught for the project I was on, but also kind of a pro because I was able to learn quite a bit about technology that was outside of my realms of sales. The project I was on was not ready to launch for the sales price or sales projection they wanted, the platform should have been built out before they approached the market. Their competitors for the SaaS are miles ahead, but I believe in given time they can disrupt that market.
