Pros

- A few talented and nice people

Cons

- Long, long hours expected without any compensation or appreciation - Non existent performance reviews - High staff turnover rates - Apart from a selected few, noone really knows what they are doing and the company is very unstructured and disorganised - Unclear bonus structure where only a fraction of what has been promised is paid out - Micro management to the level that you think five-year-olds are working there - Difficult to claim company expenses to the point where it's not even worthwhile, expenses not compensated for legit expenses
