          Pros

          Agile working and flexible hours are the best. Also having the chance to work with best educated people drives you forward.

          Cons

          You have to work more than you work in other companies. Sometimes the overtime may be frustrating, and they don't even pay when you work overtime.

                      What are your thoughts on companies requesting references before scheduling an interview? Recently got a request for an interview but the instructions were to provide 3 references first.
