      Pros

      sign-in bonus and relocation fees

      Cons

      - if you work there for less than a year, you have to return relocation fees and part of bonus - work overtime because of bad project management - work employees hard - cheap work environment - drink is not free, free coffee, but not good

      Pros

      After working here, you won't find it hard to work anywhere else. 12 hours a day would look normal to you. Perfect place for workaholics.

      Cons

      Mercenary managers. Estimates become commitments. Self imposed unreasonable deadlines. Death marches towards those deadlines. Lack of integrity. Being honest about the scope of work can hurt you under the pretext that you don't show bias for action. Whatever you do is not enough. You have to believe there is room for delivering more and work extra hours to deliver more. Your work day doesn't end when you leave the office. It spans over your evenings and weekends - until you leave the company.
