Pros

nothing promised as a incentive was genuinely delivered (other than free beverages), so, can't think of any pros, UNLESS you're into working in a toxic environment, under leadership that enjoys wielding power and relishes making staff feel as if they could be canned without cause at any moment. If that sounds like a hoot, then by all means, join the party

Cons

I concur with all the negative reviews and add this - they definitely illustrate the results of the recent survey regarding diversity in tech. MEANING - they talk about valuing diversity, but actually breed an environment that makes minorities and women feel unwelcome. Also, within weeks of starting with the company I began to wonder what their endgame was, because none of their decisions seemed to make any sense for a company that wanted longevity. By the end of my employment I began to suspect that they were simply building it up to sell? Yet, they haven't sold it yet. SO, I can only conclude that they are delusional at this point.

Pros

The pay is decent and business travel can sometimes be fun.

Cons

Toxic company culture. CEO doesn't know what he's doing and lacks vision. Company is pretty much in maintenance mode. Too many good people let go for no good reason.

Great website, horrible management

Pros

When I started, it was a small company with a great culture. Well stocked fridge & decent pay. Everyone was in the office and having a good time. The product is fantastic. Good benefits and perks like working from home.

Cons

When the COO (now CEO as of 2018) joined the company, everything changed for the worse. He hired his friends instead of people who actually believed in the company's original values. Many good people were let go without warning and nobody likes to come into the office anymore because of passive aggressive and toxic behavior from newer staff. HR is not supportive and only protects the company's interests even when leaders are not acting properly. Promotions rarely occur and bonuses were severely cut. Overall management is very poor. People don't even play music here anymore which is very sad seeing as we're a site for music.
