Pros

Nice office facility. Casual work environment. Work hard, play hard mentality. Cereal bar. Fruit bar. Beer bar. Some of the best and brightest in the industry work there. Allows for flexible schedules. Everyone is friendly overall. A pleasant work environment.

Cons

Not in good state financially. Just laid off about 20 employees. No clear vision of where they're headed. They are burning through cash and is banking on a software product that isn't making the revenue expected. The company's strategy is constantly changing. Both companies are in a crunch for more revenue (PERQ marketing and software). Leadership is disorganized. Maternity leave is a joke (2 weeks paid, 2 weeks nonpaid for employees who have been there for a year). No opportunities for professional growth and development. No cultural diversity. Salaries are extremely low for the tech industry.

Cons

Not cultured environment, provides cheap pay, and inconsistencies with management (plays favorites). Not much room for growth.

Pros

Young staff being brought in to try and take the company to the next level of design, development, and engagement.

Cons

The company is run by it's leadership with an iron fist. Despite any best practices they dictate to teams what to do and when to do it. Feigning an open and collaborative approach, the company has continuously lost talent due to their inability to let anyone else bring insight or help shape new products or projects with their own knowledge and expertise. Additionally the company likes to show off their "cool" interior as a way to encourage the younger talent to flock to their doors but, upon taking a closer look, you will see that the owners use a red, yellow, and green light signal to tell all employees if they are "allowed" to take a break and actually use any amenities around the office. To take this dictatorial view further, the owners installed a bar for beer and throwing events within their space to show off new, untested, unrefined products, as a way to boost their image (see "ego"). The bar was put in and only utilized by their haughty and condescending marketing team, who were further allowed to do what they want wherever they wanted, instead of working together with other internal groups. I'd advise to stay away unless you enjoy being told to leverage outdated product ideas that are based in business jargon and no actual numbers of ROI, or make feature decisions based on research conducted 10+ years ago.
