Pros

If you don't want to work, congrats, they never have hours to give you anyways.

Cons

I can literally ask sup 1, sup 2, and the manager the same question and on the same day, and get 3 utterly different responses or else only get responses that skirt aroudn the question rather than addressing my concerns. It's annoying when I am trying to improve my performance. It's infuriating when it messes with my paycheck. A big miscommunication is, when exactly can I get paid? The answer: "it depends." That isn't good enough.

Pros

Some nice, very smart people. Christmas bonuses are generous. Some nice clients. Small company so you aren't just a number. The CEO is a nice guy.

Cons

Lack of any type of management. Ridiculous workloads (I read the reviews on here about uneven workloads before taking the position, but overlooked them so I suppose it was my mistake). They will throw job after job at you without taking into consideration what you already have on your plate. And what's worse is they really don't care. The CEO and COO have NO idea what it actually takes to do the work and are very disengaged. No flexibility in work schedule at all. You can work 50 hours a week and they'll dock vacation hours from an exempt employee for a doctors appointment. Management will ignore REAL PROBLEMS that employees are having and focus on ridiculous things like who took a long lunch one day. No 401K match. Expensive benefits that aren't very good. VERY stressful environment. Instead of under promising and over delivering, they promise clients the moon and the stars to get business then walk away and leave employees scrambling to figure out how to make the impossible happen. Honestly, too many negatives to enumerate here. I've worked for several other firms, and I can genuinely say that I've never encountered a company that offers so little to their employees while expecting so much in return. If you're smart and a hard worker, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. You're efforts will not be reward here.

Pros

mostly cool people, pretty informal, quite a bit of autonomy, interesting work, opportunities to learn new things, executives are generally in the office and available if you need to see them.

Cons

Long hours expected with little to no flexibility given in return (you may work until midnight and then be chastised for coming in 5 minutes past 8:30), lots of dead weight hanging around doing nothing while the good people pick up the slack, workloads aren't distributed evenly, stressful, unrealistic deadlines much of the time
