Pros

Free lunch wasn't bad but its like eating gas station processed food every day

Cons

Management expected entirely way too much, they would literally sit in the office in the warm watch you on camera then call you or someone nearer you on a radio to criticize you while your on the floor busting your bottom for them

Business outlook

Pros

Great pay, benefits, bonuses. There are a lot of talented and genuinely good people who work for this company. If you work in the office you can get 5 weeks of PTO. Most people are out of the office by 3 or 4.

Cons

As company gets bigger, some perks are disappearing. It happens with any startup.
