Pros

Nice little $25 gift card perks for employees

Cons

The owner of the company, who is a micromanager, is a rage-aholic. He screams, yells, and throws tantrums if he asks a question that you can't answer off the top of your head. He has refused to hire a real HR department because he doesn't want anyone telling him how he should treat his employees. People are set up for failure by the impossible expectations and lack of any kind of support for the general staff.

Pros

Variety of projects and latest technology and software.

Cons

Equity investor ownership means all that matters is profits. Negotiate the highest salary possible. Be wary of offer that includes a bonus as investors and senior leaders get their bonuses before anyone else. Offices in other states and regions frequently go into neighboring states and regions to get their sales. Runs more like a bunch of individual companies than one cohesive unit.
