Transparency doesn't exist and neither does a road to profitability.

Pros

- Working with a young and talented team. - Being part of an emerging market and the excitement that paving the way for a new technology brings. - Autonomy - Solid benefits

Cons

- Low pay and commission is always changing in a negative way. - Equity is just a carrot that they dangle. Employees are promised to recieve a portion of it after 6 months and after a year most employees have seen nothing. - Management is inept and they do not possess the skills necessary to develop employees and drive the change needed for LevelUp to succeed. - Lying is synonymous with this company. The public is told inflated numbers about merchants and users. - They have been rapidly laying of employees across the board. - The product is not ready for the public. It is too inconsistent and glitchy.

Pros

Lots of young good looking employees, free food, good health benefits...

Cons

They do not treat their employees with any shred of respect. You will be pushed to hit unreachable goals in sales and be subject to monthly changes in commission. Upper management will fabricate numbers to the press as well as internally promote lying to customers to make a sale. The office morale is terrible. People are being fired or quitting weekly and there is a constant fear of losing your job. Look at the profile of the employees still there, there is no real experience. The only experienced individuals are pushed out and have their hands tied by the only decision maker in the company. Compensation does not reflect the work. For a Northeastern Co-op it is great money, but for a full time employee you will never hit the commission earnings projected in your offer letter. Better companies, better compensation, better leadership around every corner.

A fun place to work

Pros

You'll be hard pressed to find a more casual work environment. Everyone wears jeans, they provided a lot of food, and it is incredibly social. You're given a lot of responsibilities which forces you to learn and adapt quickly, and really prepares you for roles at other companies.

Cons

Because it's a startup, sometimes it's a little disorganized. By the end of 2012 they were just scraping together a HR team, people's performance bonuses had be pushed back and, although the Chief Ninja often promotes transparency, there seemed to be things going on behind the scenes that weren't communicated.
