Stay Away!

Pros

Nice environment, good NYC location.

Cons

Extremely cheap company, they are running Lotus Notes from ancient pre-historic days. No one wants to spent any money. And if you want a raise, all you have to do is go to another company! If you have other choices in your career, I advise you to stay away from this company.
