Pros

People are nice. You can get promoted very quickly due to the high attrition and lack of available talent nearby. Not sure if that is a nice thing. Basically incompetent people get promoted to fill a void.

Cons

Top heavy management who scramble at the beck and call of a CEO who has no sense of direction. Even the C-levels have difficulty sticking around. I have seen the COO acting both as COO, CFO and CPO. You know something is not right when they leverage one man to do the jobs of three. Instead of investing in talent and developing great products, they invest in trying to make mediocre products look world class (not everything is "leading" and "state of the art"!) They have no clue how to grow. IMO, they have reached a plateau after growing very rapidly in the start. Hardly any new innovation. Unfortunately this takes a toll on hourly or full time employees as the company goes through an annual lay-off (almost like a ritual). Product managers have no real sense of product management. Then again, it is hard to recruit talent if compensation is so abysmal. They have come with a fancy slogan of INSPIRE standing for (Integrity, Nimble...). They fail on all of them. In two years of going public they got into trouble with the SEC and faced lawsuits (not sure if it was intentional or purely incompetence). I can go on and on. There are two many. It is hard to believe they have survived for so long. I guess they must be riding the momentum of early growth or doing something right.

Pros

Relationships developed with co-workers. CEO is a visionary

Cons

Executives are very young for the most part and would not recognize a good leader if the person slapped them in the face. The executives let go most of the leaders that actually accomplished anything or were instrumental in getting things done in a matrix environment. They prefer anyone that will say "yes" and do not want to hear the truth when given line of sight on what is possible. The worst part is that they do not understand the how their product operates and what exactly it is doing to achieve company goals. The "old boy" network is alive and strong in this company and if you cozy up to the right people you will be rewarded handsomely even if you are universally despised by everyone that works with and around you. The employees are frightened of when the next layoff will take place and are afraid to speak the truth now that they see what happens to those that lead rather than say "yes".

Pros

Flexible hours Several, hard-working, accomplished and intelligent individuals, who unfortunately do not have decision-making authority.

Cons

- Few, incompetent senior-level executives with little knowledge and intelligence. - I witnessed a top level manager copying and pasting resume sections from another applicant's resume into his own. - Few top level managers are actively looking for another job! - Lack of discipline, and structure - Lack of innovative spirit. - High employee turn-over
