Pros

Employees get a discount. Catered lunch on Wednesday, drinks on thursdays. Office space in Dumbo with products around the office.

Cons

Everyone knows the positive reviews are fake and written by the CTO himself. CEO and CTO could not be more disconnected from the reality of their company. You will never be able to effectively do your job because they will fight you on everything just to do it. The only way to get by is to nod and smile despite knowing that everything they're saying is wrong. Every other day something new is "top priority," which will directly contradict what they told you the day before, but somehow they expect you to meet both. The company doesn't have enough people (only about 20) to support it's volume. CEO and CTO run the company like a sweatshop, never increasing salaries with respect to responsibilities. Over 100% turn around almost every year, and yet they don't listen to the consistent complaints from employees. Sad thing is, most of these employees are so passionate they would deal with the horrible pay, but the CEO and CTO are so appalling, everyone ends up leaving.
