Pros
Free snacks and lunches. Learning opportunity in security operations
Cons
CEO yells and screams at people, tells his people to DROP everything to work on his pet project. Tells his people they are stupid and that he can do a better job. Hostile environment. More than once I saw people leaving crying. Little to no on boarding or training. Just listen in and do your job. Just do your job and if you don't do it the way they wanted you to, you're out. They are constantly concerned with what the competition is doing and can't focus on making a good product to stand on its own. The end goal of the company is to sell it and cash out. Pay was lower than industry standard. Benefits aren't too good. The office is old and dingy and everyone watches what you are doing, keeping NOTES. I was told that I better not leave right when my shift ends, that it will look bad. That I should hang around for 10-15 more minutes. They hire the cheapest, youngest developers just to get a body in the door. They drive out the good talent or fire them. It's a constant revolving door.
