Pros

Close to frontrunner, really good benefits, atmosphere is great because "everybody is trying to take on giants and save the world."

Cons

Management will make your life a nightmare. They hire a bunch of people give everybody a shot at making it then dump the people who don't. The job description doesn't match anything that you will actually do. Management won't help, they are to busy and their management style was extremely bad.

Pros

Great company mission, young coworkers, exciting culture, positive impact, resume booster, easily recognized company name when applying for other jobs

Cons

Corporate environment makes you extremely disposable. In the sales organization, very high employee attrition rates. In my last 4 months at the company, 6 out of about 15 employees on my team alone either resigned or were terminated. Poor management with consistent threat of fire. Poor customer service.

Pros

Some of the pros are your teammates and managers are nice. The work is very repetitive, but it keeps you busy. Free cereal!

Cons

Sometimes you have to work Saturdays, (which is nice because it's overtime) but the sick time and vacation are poolled together, you only get 9 hours a month (basically a sick day) if you want to take a week vacation, you need to work nearly 5 months straight sometimes with 6 day work weeks. It's tough on your body as it can be very physically repetitive. There's not much oppertunity to grow into other positions.
