Pros

Great employees, cool location in city, small so some potential to make a big impact in the company, able to learn a lot, benefits are decent

Cons

CEO is extremely difficult to work with, blames everyone but himself for the issues of the company, is up and down like a roller coaster and has limited couth with no social skills. Employees are hired to lead and make money for the company, but are never truly allowed to help improve their surroundings. It is a 30 person company with one person attempting to run everything based solely on their idea of the way things should be (what "should be" changes on a whim and will. Very depressing place to work.

Pros

The company has some really friendly and smart people working there. You can gain a wealth of knowledge in the position you're in as well as learn other parts of the business. The current VP is awesome. If you can keep a "just business, not personal" frame of mind, you can grow in your field and use the position as a stepping stone somewhere else.

Cons

Don't expect the friendliness to continue to the top of the chain. CEO is inconsistent with his expectations about individual positions and the company. His mind will change on a whim. It's a revolving door for employees, so don't expect to make a career of the job. At the end of the day, everyone answers to the CEO and things must be done his way, right or wrong. Expect to be insulted if you make mistakes.
