Pros

- Casual atmosphere. T-shirt, jeans, sneakers. - Flexible times: take 30 minutes lunches and leave 30 minutes early. - Boss is not in often, which can relax the atmosphere a bit.

Cons

- Communication: Send e-mails into the black abyss. You never hear from anyone. Everyone's waiting to hear or something, but they never do. - Expectations: Unrealistic deadlines, no compensation for overtime, even with the small paycheck. I bought my computer for 5 months before any talks of getting a computer came to fruition. - Office Culture: No joking, no talking, no fun - management thinks working is putting your head down and not saying a word. - The work: Doesn't cultivate creativity, nor freedom. Work by rote. Pump out content like a factory.

Pros

Casual atmosphere - jeans, sneakers, t-shirts all ok. Prime location, right on top of Penn Station, so very easy to get to. Somewhat Flexible - Take 30 minute lunches and leave 30 minutes early.

Cons

- Not very receptive to feedback - A lot of people have great ideas, but none really get listened to. - Atmosphere is thick. Boss is only in once a week, but when he's in, it gets silent because he doesn't like chatter. When he's not in, it's better, but still not the most conducive to creativity. - Feels like we're puppets. Just wait for word from the management, and then get started on working. - No one is really friends with each other. Just come into the office, and say goodbye. - Don't feel very appreciated - I did something that was not asked of me, and opened up a new channel of revenue. But I got no recognition for that, nor even a thank you..
