Pros

Good location.

Cafeteria with free fruit and soda.

Products you work on have a large user reach.

Cons

Working overtime is essentially required.

No overtime hours will be paid.

Expectations can exceed full-time workers (being asked to come in at 9 AM when the team gets in at 10 AM).

The amount of work needs to be stellar to be acknowledged as a good employee.

Limits the number of male employees on a team, making it difficult for a male intern to receive a full-time offer.

Job insecurity.

Huge layoffs create competition within teams.

Competition within the team promotes a lack of teamwork.

Advice to Management

Hiring employees should be based on merit, not personal bias and gender.
