NOT a place for career progression or for anyone with more than 1 year of experience on their resume!

Pros

- good work / life balance.....but only if you yourself insist on it - incredibly kind coworkers (not speaking of management here) - free food

Cons

- management will give you "promotions" but you will NOT get a raise, despite all the extra responsibility; oh and you will have to fight for a title too - incredible amount of impediments and egos at the top , which renders people unable to do their job leaving them with no autonomy - management is not suited to run anything, let alone departments of people - i don't think a single manager has received any kind of training on how to actually manage - pay is incredibly low in comparison to industry standards - the work itself is like a sweatshop where all you practically do is the same repetitive thing all day every day *only take a job here if you are straight out of school and/or career progression is of no interest to you
