Pros

- free food, lunches, snacks etc - free drinks - innovative office in great location - tech company stepping stone - nice, friendly and genuine colleagues

Cons

- absolutely no work/life balance which is hidden under the guise of 'start up mentality' where they flog you to death, churn you and burn you. - very poor managers/'leadership' with no actual 'leadership' qualities e.g. Global CEO's leadership motto is "if I jump off a cliff, everyone else should follow me" - very high turnover (which says a lot about company culture and the leadership there) - conference CEO was clueless and lost company thousands of dollars - blackmail and ultimatums weren't uncommon - no support or constructive criticism, just 'your head will roll if you step out of line' mentality
