Pros

The biggest pro for me is that I get to work from home. I have lots of flexibility on which hours I work on a given day allowing me a great balance between work and my family. My coworkers and managers are friendly, helpful and patient. The compensation is very competitive.

Cons

The work can sometimes get very repetitive; but, being about to break up the hours helps with this. Working from home doesn't give you the work atmosphere where you could build some wonderful friendships; but, the advantages by far outweigh this small disadvantage for me.

Pros

We're living the start-up dream. We're a small, nimble company that has the potential to make a big impact on people's lives. First, I truly believe in the mission of the company - "help people make informed decisions about where they work." Work is important - it's where many people spend the most time, your salary has a big impact on the freedom you have in your life, etc. So helping people make good decisions about their work is important and valuable. Second, the work environment is great. People respect each other. Each person truly contributes to making the company successful. Management (which I'm part of) is extremely open about how decisions are made and what our goals are. And there is a great energy that comes from everyone working together to achieve a shared vision. We respect the importance of having balance in your life. We work hard, but people can always take time off when they want/need to. Often times people work extra but it's because they are excited to deliver results rather than because it's required. And, people are compensated fairly. We have good salaries, extremely generous equity package and great benefits...especially for a startup - what startup do you know that had a 401K in the first year it existed?

Cons

We're prone to many of the drawbacks of a startup. Career opportunity is limited - with a 11 person company, there isn't a lot of room for promotion and taking on more senior roles. However, that is balanced with the opportunity for every person to have total ownership of his/her work and to play many roles so it's a great place to learn and grow. There's also risk in a startup. We're fortunate to have enough capital to build the business, but any startup is riskier than an established company.

Pros

The ability to work remotely, at home with non-scheduled hours....therefore, there is a great work / life balance!! This is the best work at home opportunity that I have found that is truly legitimate!!! The salary and PTO are above average, as well as the amount of paid holidays that are offered to part time employees as well as full time employees. Career advancement is huge since this is a start-up company that is growing rapidly. Management is approachable and willing to help grow and advance employee careers. Also, often times we are asked for our opinions to help improve the experience of glassdoor.com for the user....it makes me feel like management respects my opinon. Finally, I have found that it is fun reading about other people's experiences all day....sometimes I forget that I am actually working!!

Cons

I guess the biggest thing would be working 7 days a week to keep up with all of the data. Also, the work can be monotonous somedays doing the same "type" of analyzing for hours on end. Sometimes working remotely causes a lack of communication and a lack of team feeling. There is also not alot of feedback about job performance because of the lack of daily interaction with management. Finally, working from home is great, but not seeing other people can sometimes make you crazy!!!!
