Pros

Startup benefits and work flexibility Self driven workload and responsibility Good office environment and collegiate atmosphere Fast growing

Cons

Not very rewarding career advancement track when many experienced employees make less than new hires due to "market conditions" and "company policy". Make sure you negotiate well before joining as it is hard to advance after signing A decent amount of corporate politics for a startup company

Thanks for your feedback. I think you are misunderstanding how our compensation philosophy works. We benchmark our salary and equity bands annually against market data (I think that's what you mean by market conditions) to ensure that we are paying fairly. That applies both internally and externally. To be clear there is no "company policy" that says we pay new hires more than experienced employees. I'd be happy to discuss it further with you in person. I'd like to clear up any misconceptions. Thanks.

Pros

Unlimited PTO that they encourage you to use

Cons

Vey cliquey and laden with politics. Lot of the promotions didn't make any sense and just seemed to be based on the VP's mood on any given day. Favoritism galore and to top it off.... the clients are so difficult to deal with. Unrealistic expectations and no support from management when they are out of line. You will be demonized if you call it out.
