Pros
Good salary. Good time off policy. Good for people just out of college and/or people who need to move out of their parents’ house. Good for people who feel like they missed out by not working for a start-up during the dotcom boom. Good for people who like to walk around in their socks.
Cons
This company is a lot of smoke and mirrors. It portrays itself as some cutting-edge company when the reality is, it’s just another in a long line of media companies: a bunch of young, inexperienced people churning out data while upper management types fly around the country mugging around at industry events talking s*&%. The fact of the matter is, the data being churned out is dubious at best. It's inherently biased by whoever happens to be running it and whatever the account managers want it to say but because none of it can be fact-checked, they can get away with it. The bottom-line is, the company got too big (relatively speaking) too fast and the people at the wheel don’t know what to do. Their answer thus far has been to add layers and layers of bureaucracy because they think that’s what they think that's what real companies do. Every time you turn around, a new VP of something or another is being hired; they usually leave after a few months with no explanation only to be replaced by two new VPs. There’s got to be a VP for every 2-3 regular employees at this point but I guess $20M in funding doesn’t just spend itself.
