Pros

I'm not working there anymore

Cons

John Betts ruined this company. He spent all the investor funds on things like company parties, private Jets, and horrible choices for contractors. Not to mention we moved into an office on Broadway 3x larger and hired 6x more employees that her had to layoff 6 months later. We had one client who have is revenue and his ignorance led to our demise. Her is now out as CEO as he was ousted but for whatever reason he is still lurking around trying to sell his failed firm. He's the only person I know who hired a ton of smart people only to not listen to any of them because he was adamant to wave his you know what around to whoever he could useless.

Pros

I've been here for about 4 months now, but feels like longer. The pace is fast, and you will learn a lot. A very collaborative, flexible (time off and wfh or away from desk is not a problem), hard working, and accountable culture with lots of smart people. Everyone here is a shareholder, and people seem genuinely invested and motivated to steer the company in the right direction. A chance to build and architect things the right way and with the newest tech stack and infrastructure. A lot of perks like gym and work related book reimbursement, weekly catered lunch, and fully stacked snack bar, and company events. Company moved out of growing pains of early startup mode and is now in rapid growth and profitability mode. If you can get in, you'll hopefully be part of something big.

Cons

Can be long hours, and there is constant studying to keep up with pace of technical challenges. Hiring outpacing floor space, but that should soon change. Not much in health benefits for family, and no 401k match - I am hoping that will change as the company matures and gets more profitable.
