Pros

I learned a lot from my experience there and it provided me with great opportunities for future jobs. The work itself was fun and enjoyable as well and the people were great to work with! Laid back and fun environment.

Cons

On the downside I felt that at times there needed to be more team bonding activities to get people out of their shells.

Pros

Great colleagues, very nice and relatable people. The team is small and close-knit, people are friendly (apart from management). The work environment is also pretty good, it's pretty much like any other small startup in NYC.

Cons

Executives and managers do not respect their employees. Senior management will do anything to pay you well below market rates. Some managers will micro-manage you and discard your feedback every step of the way. As an entry-level dev, I didn't feel respected, and I felt like I was being taken advantage of by management. The company has a very high turnover rate and employs mostly entry level people. For this reason it largely does not follow industry best practices and you will find it difficult to grow professionally in this environment. You won't find any expert mentor there to help you improve your craft. Executives also have little principles and little respect for ethics or even the law. You may be asked to do unethical things. That was a huge red flag for me and caused me to leave quickly. In my opinion the business also has little growth perspectives. It has been stagnating for a while and failed to reinvent itself after getting lucky with one game. It was a hit for about one month. Don't go there for the startup "rock ship" experience, you would be severely disappointed.
