Pros

Free lunch, insurance covered, unlimited sick days.

Cons

There is no room for growth. Nepotism and favoritism is how you succeed here. You quickly realize that the managers are under qualified for their position because they are promoted within without extensive outside experience. This is a prime example of nepotism and under qualification at this company. There was nothing to learn under any person because they did not understand what we did, and her point of view is regurgitating information from meetings that made themselves feel important. Other employees with step over you to get ahead. This failing startup promotes under qualified people every year, and fires their manager in order to save money, and it shows external partners that we have "senior" people working for you.
