Pros

There is free snacks in the kitchen. Flexible work hours.

Cons

It is impossible to get a decent pay raise or promotion. I was told by many "senior" level people that if I want to get more money, then I should leave the company. That is a horrible way to treat staff. We've had over 16 people quit for the past 2 months because senior level people would rather let them go than promote within.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
