Pros

Great open office environment, good snacks, paid parking (if they feel like giving it to you).

Cons

Leadership is weak, the CEO Eric Williams is a pathological liar. The state of current technology that he tells staff and investors about is all smoke and mirrors. There are some great ideas on paper and the white board, but with only 2 CV scientists working from home or in the office with minimal equipment resources, production results are months if not years away from reality. All of the "technology" that is being displayed is actually created manually by a bunch of new college graduates, dropouts and temporary staff working long hours 7 days per week. This is all done with promises that Jyllion is the next "Google or Facebook". The programmers and analysts are treated like idiots by the CIO who doesn't even have any technology credentials to back up his expertise. Go somewhere that realizes your potential and values your experience and true understanding of the subject matter. This place is not worth your time.

Pros

> Decent pay and benefits. > Modern cloud-based software architecture. > Smart technologists. > Endless opportunities to work on things you have never worked on before. > Management offers to bring espresso to you so you can work when you are sick or beyond sleep-deprived. > Not being alone in working so much at least.

Cons

> Near-immediately being expected to show savvy with things you have never worked on before. > Management that greatly overestimates their software-­development savvy and fails to provide clear business direction (i.e. what), stiflingly directs and monitors technical matters (i.e. how), struggles to agree among themselves mid-execution, and really just wants to know how many hours "it" (which is ill-­defined) will take. > Low management integrity –­ very little "mean what you say, and say what you mean".
