Pros

So much smarter a company than Microsoft (where I came from). Middle-managers know what their job is...reconciling inconsistencies between teams and setting the right priorities for customers.

Cons

None, I love working here. The people are smart, management is awesome, and the company is growing every day. Technically, the engineering is Service-Oriented-Architecture hell...it takes forever to introduce a change and integrate it with the rest of the environment because everything is so complicated.

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.
