Vantaggi
Free gym in the building. If you are favorited and don't complain about promised raises in pay and/or anything like I did, you are safe (maybe).
Svantaggi
Constant shift in organization of company including but not limited to upper and lower management of client facing, product, and technology teams. No real HR department. HR is now also over the CS team - who does that team go to with issues? HR also routinely gossips with others after company firings...is that even legal? Promises of pay raises to accompany new titles and increased responsibilities but never delivered for years. Promises of new titles/responsibilities never delivered. Consistent firings of internal DEV and Product teams alongside new contracts with outside technology companies - another revolving door. No understanding (or concern) from the top about the importance/infinite number of tasks performed on a daily basis by CS, DI, App Ops, Product teams which makes firings more detrimental to the company than the individual. It is very clear certain firings are distinctly ego-based with no foresight on company-wide impact. Paradoxical protection of certain agents with no company knowledge or real responsibilities - weight of hammer falls on the underpaid employees doing all of the work. Websites have been down for more than 2-7 days at a time at least once a year for the last 3 years. Technology issues happen...but when this occurs, no information is given to employees, management over-promises the work of lower teams in regards to recovery/client retainment plans without understanding what is needed to fulfill promises, and lower/mid level employees are fired unnecessarily Higher turnover rate ensures more "safety" time for some employees who slack on their responsibilities, put their responsibilities on others, are generally toxic, or truly don't care about the company. It isn't just management - some people who are there shouldn't be and some people who quit/were fired would be making a difference today. I'll leave it there. At this point, it seems like unless you are a reference/friend of the company's investors, you will be A)overworked and underpaid, B) unsafe from seemingly random firings to protect mid/upper management, C)promised things to get dirty jobs done and then never delivered what you were promised, or all of the above.
