Pros

Usual benefits, nothing too stellar. Some of the people here are phenomenal.

Cons

The Bad stuff: No career opportunities here with exceedingly high turn over rate Compensation well below market rate No mentoring because everyone is a junior level employee Long hours with no overtime CEO is very "my way or the highway" to a fault The even worse stuff: Several interpersonal issues that were not handled by HR, HR exists but may as well not with how useful they are at handling complaints I was asked to lie to customers about more than one security breach Executives take extended trips and leave no one in charge. When they're in the office, they're not usually effective managers anyway There's a lot of drama at the office now which is draining to deal with Overall: This is an okay job if you're just starting out, but don't linger longer than 2 years or so otherwise your career will stagnate.
