Pros
There aren't many but the one thing I can think of is the ability to work remotely.
Cons
LONG STORY SHORT Extremely untrustworthy overall. In fact, I wasn't paid for my final weeks at the company after having spent MULTIPLE 60 hour weeks building a product for the team. Poor pay and worse benefits. Title obsessed culture. One junior developer was actually named "Lead Skunkworks Developer" in a sad attempt to inspire loyalty. LONG STORY LONG I was brought on to work under the Lead Software Engineer, only to find out, during the interview, that HE would quitting because of the bad atmosphere. Against my better judgement, I took a job with them and found that not only had the Lead Software Engineer quit, so had the previous CTO (who was also the Co-Founder of the company). During my time there, not only did the other Software Engineer quit because of poor treatment, so did many other team members in the field. I attempted many times to work with the management to implement simple systems like TDD and QA/QC checks to prevent errors and improve overall work only to have my suggestions ignored. Additionally, most employees are extremely underpaid relative to the rest of the market. This is supposedly offset with "stock options" with over 4 years with a 1-year cliff. However, most employees are quitting or "terminated" before they can even reach their 1 year mark to collect anything. Watch out for that. Most of the leadership lack professionalism and expect their employees to work overtime to make up for management mistakes. There is an overall need to get A product out the door as opposed to getting THE product right. There's also a huge obsession with appearing to be a successful company as opposed to actually being one.
