Pros

Young people, full of energy, free coffee, tons of drinks. They do have great learning sessions that help you build skills for your future.

Cons

They use excel sheets to fire people. It's micro-managed (it's completely scale-able, so this makes sense maybe). They only care about numbers. They are currently involved in two class action lawsuits with their current employees as plaintiffs. Commission is based on your goal, which changes every month and they do not release how the goals are set.
