Pros

1. Staff discount on beer is good

Cons

1. The owners manage the business and think they know everything. They do not. 2. Hours are terrible and there is no consideration for employee's wellbeing. 3. Poor pay and terrible opportunities for progression. 4. Owners expect you to do extra for free. If you have a skill they will try to exploit your good nature to get you to do things not on the contract for free.

Pros

The people who work at Heist have always been amazing - both staff and freelancers. There is a strong sense of camaraderie. The benefits package is generous (especially for the size of the company) and includes an education stipend. Overall Heist makes great work and has a good reputation.

Cons

Little room for ownership of projects, and management can be a frustrating mix of indecisive and micro-managerial. At its worst, the atmosphere can be extremely tense and disrespectful. It weighs on staff and burns people out quickly.
