Pros

Pay is good for the job you are hired to do

Cons

* There is no Upward Mobility * You are expected to be in the 'Click' or get fired * You are expected to buy gifts for the boss on a monthly bases * You will be asked to learn new skills sets for a new position, but never be reimbursed or get offered the position that you were training/studying for * High levels of nepotism. If you are not dating someone who is a staple in the company, you will not last long. * You will be asked to do free work ( I was asked to make automation scripts, like QA Engineer for free. No prospect of becoming their QA tester) * The benefits are very poor. (ie Insurance, 401k,etc)

Smaller, great CEO/COO. Healthy work life balance.

Start-up, so not as competitive pay/benefits.

Pros

I got a nice cup from them that I still use. That's it though

Cons

-Nepotism -strange staff makeup, about half of the company were dating eachother and they would intentionally hire peoples significant others. -CEO is out of control, would post videos of people being electrocuted to death or other things like that in the company slack and say 'looks it ours competitors testing xyz' or something. He goes into Facebook groups of competitive products and just like trash talks them there -very strange pressure around buying gifts for the upper management for literally any reason. One particularly ugly case they had two people buy gifts for the couple that founded the companies baby shower and then they fired them the next day -there is a certain group in the company that just does not work because they're friends with the CEO and his wife and were hired for that reason. If you aren't friends with the CEO and his wife BEFORE YOU START you will be doing more than anyone else and for less money -Randomly decided my work day would be longer than originally agreed upon with no increase in pay to match. -if you ask a question in company chat you will be ignored for hours or maybe days on end, but if you bring up a cookie place they all like then everyone chimes in and talks for hours.
