Pros

They pay you, you get a desk, my coworkers were nice.

Cons

This is not a place to join if you are looking to grow in your career. This is more of a collect a paycheck and leave early location. CEO is gutting the company. I think it is just the nature of the product. It is past its growth phase and now is just in maintenance mode. Do NOT join here as an "App Dev" - you'll be using XO the proprietary language, which is fine but it isn't a marketable skill and you will have a very hard time switching out of it since no one wants to learn it.
