Pros

They give you a nice computer to use...but you have to lug the 9 pound object with you everywhere as you can't leave your stuff in the office overnight.

Cons

- When offered the position, I negotiated to work remotely. They wanted me to work in Denver, and offered me a $20,000 increase in salary to work in Denver if I moved during the first three months. Two weeks after starting the job, while we were under contract to buy a house in Denver, they rescinded the offer. - After two weeks of working for the new company in a completely new field, I was told that I was performing poorly. When I asked what tasks I had performed poorly on, my manager could not name any. He just said that I wasn't working hard enough. - In the interview, I made no attempt to hide the fact that I didn't have experience and only had limited expertise in the area they wanted me to work on. They offered me a position regardless, and proceeded to fire me after three weeks for not having the right skillset / expertise for the position. - Three days into my job, I was asked by my manager to host an on-site interview with another candidate. My manager was frequently interviewing other candidates, but stated to me that he had no intention to hire them; he just wanted to "see what was out there". - Cramped noisy office space with hardly any elbow room at the desks. Not for introverts and people who need space!

Pros

Great office, great but overall standard tech perks

Cons

Completely disorganized when it comes to senior management CTO was still technically an engineer vs management role They had an office in Israel that no one heard much from until one of the managers came to Denver. He was incredibly sexist, demanding, and seemed to have the final say in everything. I was hired to report directly to the CTO, upon his arrival he demanded I report to him and I was directly I told if I do not feel "comfortable" with that I will continue to report to the CTO. I said it makes more sense for me to report to CTO considering I am a Scrum Master and work with the engineering team here in Denver and do not know the person who just flew in and am not aware of his role. All I knew that he was on the Product side. He made completely inappropriate sexual comments to me during a one on one but I did not even say anything about that. The CTO told me he is completely happy for me to continue to report to him. 2 days later I was called into a small office with the HR person and the CTO. They told me I was being let go and asked for me to hand everything over and that by law in Colorado they do not have to tell me why they are letting me go. Really? I am pretty sure I knew why.
