Pros

- Young & enthusiastic talent - Chill vibe, no dress code - Free clothes every month - Startup culture so you have opportunities to take on new roles - If you're young and attractive, you've got a pretty good chance at landing a job you're completely unqualified for

Cons

- You're going to have to cancel your Netflix subscription because the company culture will be all the drama you need. "I accept responsibility for this!" - said no one ever at Five Four - Remember those obnoxious guys from class? You'll be thinking, "how did I end up on this Access Hollywood bus?" - Vacation hours don't start accruing until you work 6 months. Don't expect to get your vacation approved though since everyone's stretched really thin and you don't wanna let the team down, right? - High turnover rate means no one knows what they're doing - Cramped workspace so always be ready for an impromptu game of Tetris whenever the Fire Department comes around - CEOs/investors will often circumvent established workflow to give you new directives. Expect to hear "So I know it's launching tomorrow, but [CEO/investor] wants this instead" on a regular basis - You have to find out everything through gossip. I have literally seen coworkers not come in to work one morning and then their replacement sits down at their seat with no explanation. At least there were snacks in the kitchen to feed the huge elephant in the room

Pros

* Bi-Weekly Catered Lunch * Stocked Kitchen * Free Clothes and monthly packages * Paid Parking

Cons

* The office is not located in the most convenient location, you will be stuck in local traffic no matter which direction you are coming from. * Upper Management will play the favoritism game and compensate workers they like, not based on their job performance. * You are severely underpaid and promotions are rare, unless you are a favorite. * CEO is very condescending and have no clear cut direction in what he wants to do. He likes new shiny things and expects his employees to make it happen, he will be extremely disrespectful if you do not agree with him. * There is no accountability, people like to point fingers and throw others under the bus.
