Pros

You might work with some very bright people and make good friends.

Opportunity to learn some very interesting skills and technologies.

Above market salary, as long as it lasts.

Cons

You might get all verbal accolades and encouragement until one fine day you are told that you are no longer needed.

Managers could be picked randomly based on seniority from your peers if one leaves, and may have little people skills.

Firing, if it happens to you, is public, humiliating, and outright insulting with a terse broadcast email.

Advice to potential applicants:

  • Do not close your eyes to all the reviews on Glassdoor, thinking you are too smart to be fired.
  • Do account for the potential time you might have to stay without a job while comparing the salary to other places.
Advice to Management

Treat your employees with respect.
