Pros
- Fun and young culture
- Option to work from home
- Casual environment
- Owners are really knowledgeable and well known within the industry
- Good first job/stepping stone for something better
- Gain lots of experience within the first year
Kontras
- Sink or swim environment
- Expect everyone to work long hours and over the weekend. PMs always pushing you to do more work/take on more work and to get work done faster. If you don't get it done fast enough, it is your problem and not theirs (the PMs).
- Company grew way too fast and owners did not appear to have a good grasp of how to manage the the company's growth
- Promoted people who were good at their jobs but not good at project management.
- New PMs were in way over their heads. Most (nearly all) had very limited knowledge of "the whole picture".
- Owners have obvious favorites
- Poor growth management/staffing led to multiple rounds of lay offs
