Pros

WeWork Office was very nice.

Cons

The department I worked in liked to have what would be private conversations done in front of everyone. So your personal issues were drawn out as well as your struggles. Fear is the prime motivator here. They will continue to ramp up the pressure on you to deliver. It is a real results driven company. If you are unable to deliver, they want to make sure you feel awful that you couldn't. Their reasoning is to make sure it doesn't happen again. There were a few times where the manager was threatening other employees that their jobs were on the line. Yes, this was done publicly for everyone to see. If you are a junior in your position, you will be required to put in at least 30 to 40 hours extra a week. I have to hand it to them, they work very hard there. In fact, during the weekends, they come into work as well. If you are the person who wants to have an hour or two to themselves everyday, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Company set a rate for contract work and then tried to change the rate after the work was complete, they said it wasn't what they were looking for. But they still asked me to sign a release so they could use it. So the pros are it's a great place to work if you don't like getting paid!

Cons

Not being paid is a pretty big con. Company offered me less than originally agreed upon saying it wasn't usable, but still asked me to sign a release. If the work completed was actually unusable, they wouldn't need the release.
