Great people. Frustrating hours.

Pros

Coworkers are great, company culture is incredible in spite of the CEO

Cons

Every team is understaffed and paid less than the industry average "to attract the right kind of talent" in the CEO's own words. This means looong hours and unacheivable goals. All the time. The CEO has a bit of a god complex.

Pros

Most relaxed company I've ever worked for. Very cool vibes going into the place and working there. Makes you happy to walk in there.

Cons

It may be relaxed, but since it is a little like a start up, they work you to the bone. They work you very hard.

Pros

I love the junior level employees. They are all amazing intelligent people. Everyone looks out for each other and has amazing ideas and pitches. I also enjoyed laughing at the CEO saying the same nonsense every time he forces us to sit and listen to how amazing he is.

Cons

I have worked for many innovative "cool" companies before this one so I was not impressed with the trendy people and free beer. Yes, a job is what you do to make a living, and perhaps it feels a little more comfortable with superfluous amenities such as in a fancy office with lemon water and 30-thousand dollar couches. That being said, all of these qualities mean nothing. You will be working long hours with no overtime or appreciation. If you are not in some way related to the narcissistic CEO, forget about it. You can work until your exhausted, sick and miserable but no one will notice or care. People are disposable here, and it's thrown under the rug when they are mistreated or let go for no reason other than not sucking up to higher management. The company also doesn't do any real interesting work but you forget that because you become brainwashed by the frat bro culture. It's a real estate company, no different from any other commercial real estate company other than the fluffy bs they feed you. It isn't changing the world or peoples lives, it's simply allowing for people to rent office spaces. How amazing... I think not.
