Pros

Job offer came quickly after interview

Cons

No PTO for the 1st year and NO ability to flex your schedule to accommodate any last minute emergencies. Sure you can take unpaid time but it has to be approved first before you leave and you loose out on the health and wellness pay (towards your health insurance).

Pros

Remote / work from home friendly Constant food in the office

Cons

Management is truly awful. The most milk-toast, lukewarm, lazy, unintelligent people ever. Their policy is to not address any problems until they have become too big to fix, then they make sure there is a fall-guy to blame. You will regret working here, it will ruin your career and make you dumber.
