Pros

A small company atmosphere with an excellent work/life balance.

Cons

This is a mom & pop shop wanting to be more but stuck in the distant past. Seniority is based on the time spent at the company rather than anything else. They say their systems and processes are a little old and could use a lot of work, but don't dare agree with that statement. Try modernizing or improving anything and a "founder" will personally interfere with every little bit of work you try to complete. If you want to work at a tech company with a 1990 to 2005 feel, this is the place for you.
