Pros

Nice culture if you are not working on the support side. Support is understaffed constantly, there are things like couches to sit on and beer Fridays.

Cons

An incredible amount of work and no time to do it. In support, you feel like everyone else in the company is playing games and leaving early while you work away. Expect nepotism and retribution as HR is absent. The pay is abysmal, you'll need that overtime to survive. Someone also advised you get free parking. This is not the case. Despite the office being inside a parking garage, it's $75 a month to park there, $50 of which the company will pay for. So, you're still out $25 a month. Forget about parking in the area, too. If you drive, you better get a spot in the garage.

Pros

The People, The Benefits, Opportunity to learn something new.

Cons

Boy's Club Culture, Lack of People leaders - A good portion of the management here have known each other through friends, or through college. Some of them have slipped into management positions and many of them aren't great at it. While they are talented on the business side, so many of them lack people leading skills and this has led to a large amount of turnover at the company for years now. There are 1 or 2 good ones in there but many should have never been put into a management position in the first place. Pay- Get the fair pay upfront, because you'll never get it later. It's very hard to get a decent increase here at the company and they will only come with promotions or annual reviews and will never be anything significant. If you are not satisfied with your merit increases they will be happy to let you walk out the door and find someone else to replace you. Be careful with wearing too many hats- Everyone at Name.com wears many hats and they will talk about this, be careful getting too many hats to wear because that will lead to you being overworked and not getting paid fairly for it. Very little opportunity for growth- There are only 40-50 people who work at Name.com so the positions that open up are very rare. You might be able to get a title change in your current department but if you are interested in other areas of the company don't count on it. Even if something did open up they will probably hire from the outside.

Pros

I was with Name.com for over 10 years. The company has great people, and a fantastic culture. Everyone has an opportunity to voice their opinion, and be heard. They provide a well stocked kitchen as well as beer on Fridays. The 401k matching and benefits are some of the best I have seen.

Cons

none that I can think of.
