Pros

Reasonable compensation. Free lunches and dinners, mostly edible. Good office location. Flexible work schedule. Uncanny ability to continue to raise funds.

Cons

Lack of vision. Schizophrenic product roadmap. No revenue. Design decisions frequently made at insane hours with little discussion. CEO micro-management. Useless CTO who is too busy playing with pet projects instead of providing technical leadership and vision. High employee turnover. Massive dilution and slim chance of any equity value. How does this company continue to survive?

Pros

The opportunity for interns is great - good integration into the company and a great co-worker community. The projects you work on range from insignificant to game-making, so it's a grab-bag that some will win.

Cons

Until recently the management team was unable to correctly identify their target market, or present a cohesive image of what the company was doing. This doesn't matter for interns, but for full-time people it may be more important.
