Pros
The insurance is good (but when you get laid off the COBRA is very expensive)
Kontras
The CEO thinks he's running a massive company and not a startup with no actual product to sell. He has absolutely zero business sense. With a company of approximately 100 people, there were three or four hr reps, a full time lawyer, a "culture coach", among other hires that just didn't make sense. As far as I know the lawyer, culture coach, and most of the HR Reps are still there. While the company was (apparently) financially struggling, they continued to throw expensive parties, insisted everyone come into the office (while reimbursing $140 per person for parking) because of the butt-in-chair mentality. A commercial Keurig was purchased and installed as well as a reverse osmosis system (these were nice additions to the office and on thier own are not that expensive in the grand scheme of things but for a company financially struggling are unnecessary). Gallup Strengths Finder tests were also purchased just weeks before the lay offs for the entire company (which are not cheap and it included the people who were about to be laid off). They went to a lot of effort to maintain the "everything is fine and dandy" and generally didn't like people to ask questions. Your job working here is to show up, smile, and tell them how great they're doing (even if they are doing very, very bad). One last thing I think it's important to say. When they chose people to lay off, they informed us that they had to do so because there was no way to survive another three months, financially, without doing so. They were hiring again for at least three positions within a month.
