Pros

Not really too much to put here. Weekly lunches built cohesiveness but not much else to brag about.

Cons

Low pay, often asked to work OT with little to no notice, they employ the 'Carrot and stick' routine in regards to promotions (nobody ever gets promoted). They advertise personal offices and choice of platform on a state-of-the-art machine for your office but most employees are jammed into a big warehouse/room working on outdated PCs. They advertise a 'relaxed dress code' but if you have tattoos they will ask you to cover them up. Their 'stocked kitchen' is junk food from the $1 store. They try to present themselves as a professional IT entity but over time their actions erode that professional veneer and expose the indecisive and frankly unprofessional mess that is beneath it.

Pros

I enjoyed working at Mediafire. Stakeholders are understanding and nice. Pleasant to work with them. They will get involved with the work you are doing considering some of them were former software developers themselves. A family-oriented company. Good work/life balance. Flexible schedule. Strong culture and values.

Cons

Decisions are sometimes made on the fly without everyone's knowledge. Some of the decisions they initially make do not make sense, then they will learn the hard way, and backtrack to address this decision. By this time, it is usually too late. Below average compensation. Low benefits. Employee reviews only once a year.
