Pros

Great technology, smart people, off-Fridays

Cons

No work life balance with management having no regard for weekends, vacation or Even sick leave. Negative, demotivating environment which appears to reward mediocrity and stifles creativity. Domineering self appointed CMO who does not have a clue about marketing and a woefully inexperienced leadership team who make one bad decision after another.
