Pros

international fun loving co-workers and a chance to learn a lot about this business

Cons

Extreme low pay and long hours. They want to squeeze every last amount of energy from their people and underpay them by waiving work visas to unsuspecting fresh out of college foreign kids. Owners have a Lordship peasant mentality. An almost discriminatory preference for under 25 year old workers so they don't have to pay. No overtime yet they expect people to work 14 hour days. Its basically a modern day sweatshop with an outdated .com mentality. Avoid it unless you are desperate

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
