Pros

Standard pay, perks, etc. for a startup. Product is competing in a very crowded space and brand recognition is minimal. I guess this is great if you enjoy a challenge.

Cons

I have never feared for my job more than when I worked for this company. Guidance for role was minimal and expectations were high. Company was built for growth that never really materialized - CEO was incredibly premature with regards to C-suite hires, office space selection, etc. Bloated executive salaries have eliminated the company's ability to survive in a dried up funding market. Recent company postings state that the company is now geared for "profitability" (read cost cutting). Take a look at "Past Employees" on LinkedIn and try to apply to their posted positions. You'll notice a good sized group of people who decided not to work for the company in May 2016. If you try to access apply for their job listings, it appears that they've stopped paying their bill to Lever. Long story short: this is a sinking ship. Avoid this company like the plague.

Pros

-The people! They are smart, driven, innovative, and collaborative. Those buzz words are thrown around quite a bit across companies, but they are actually lived out here. -The product! Selling a product that I can truly get behind is very important to me. ToutApp and what it does is AMAZING. I am completely blown away with our product team and the product roadmap we have in place. -The benefits! The best healthcare plan - health, dental, & vision. Commuter benefits. Catered lunches three days per week. Snacks - I have a love/hate relationship with the snacks. Happy Hours at the office on Fridays and occasionally outside of the office. -The culture! Tout has done an amazing job of hiring the right people for the job that fit our awesome culture. -The office! Hands down the best views in the city and an environment that allows you to get your work done!

Cons

This is a start-up. While there are best practices in place if you are someone that is looking for a lot of structure and guidance this is not the place for you. For me that is not a con, but the start-up environment is not for everyone.
