Pros

Smart people, fast moving company. Compensation is stock oriented, so timing plays a role. Very customer oriented and frugal. Great for customers.

Cons

High burn out rate, no measurement of ROI on projects, focus on "buzzword" projects/services which do not generate revenue or profit.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
