Vantaggi
A real "trial by fire" work place, where young, inexperienced professionals can get thicker skin through the many difficulties and failures they will experience here. Once upon a time, there was a small chance that some interesting projects would come in the door, and wrap up with something both the client and the team could be proud of.
Svantaggi
It only takes a quick glance at the see-saw of 1-Star / 5-Star reviews to realize something odd is going on here. Most recent positive reviews are fabrications. I wouldn't be surprised to see another glowing review following this one. This company is incredibly superficial. The value of Marketing and Biz Dev is greatly disproportionate to everything else. Promises to help clients build "Multi-Million dollar, industry disrupting" companies are thrown around casually (though not once achieved). Once that client is in the door, it's on to the next one. It doesn't matter if the in-house team cannot realistically fulfill the expectations set by the sales pitch. If a deadline is approaching, and the project is a complete disaster; it's nothing that a few extra hours won't fix. Worst case, maybe a squarespace solution can put things back on track, because "who cares, right?". The CEO is the kind of guy that would probably become fast friends with Martin Shkreli. He knows what he wants, and doesn't care how many employee's backs he needs to step on to get it. He'll cheerfully asks you to spend your personal time researching business tactics of successful companies to add to the sales pitch (it's not optional). He'll step in midway through a project after being totally absent, and scrap everything. Re-doing everything within the same timeframe is someone else's problem. He surrounds himself with those who share his passion for the facade, and tolerates everyone else, as long as they stay quiet on the periphery.
