Pros

Beer fridge, free coffee, nice employees

Cons

The CEO has had a series of confirmed affairs with female employees, sometimes more than one at once and most them significantly younger than him (although not all). He will then sabotage their success at the company and he has laid off at least two of them when the relationship got too complicated. These relationships are very obvious to fellow employees and makes for a very uncomfortable work environment. His partner and upper management (all men) actively turn a blind eye and do nothing to stop the CEO's inappropriate behavior.

Pros

Great group of people. Very friendly, open environment and everyone is enthusiastic about the high quality solutions we create.

Cons

No major cons I can think of. There did seem to be an unusually high turnover of full time employees in the recent months, but could just be a coincidence, didn't see a reason culture-wise for people to be moving to other companies.

Pros

- Good People - Flexible Hours - Casual Environment

Cons

- Poor managment - CEO doesnt follow their own policies (both as far as internal operating procedures, referred to as "Dean Specials" as well as company handbook policies, ex.: dating your direct reports) - Shifting responsibilities instead of replacing lost staff - Managment would constantly ask for feedback for new business to better improve workflows but then would brush off any suggestions actually offered.
