Pros

Free coffee, relaxed atmosphere (too relaxed?)

Cons

A managing director who's vain, not so much micro-managing but nano-managing everything. Some "senior leaders" seem to have been appointed as part of an "Old Boys/Girls club". Members of staff have no idea what these people contribute. No products, nothing really to sell. The senior team sat by and watch the market slipping away from them, believing that new companies would never be a threat. Good people have left or are leaving still. Now the company is shadow of what it was.

Pros

Health Benefits were cheap. Reimbursed for all travel expenses.

Cons

North American team is isolated from the European team. All development work is done in France. French team is off the for the month of August all together and has lots more holidays than the rest of teams. Time zone differences make collaboration difficult unless you are willing to be up at 4 a.m. EST. Teams were very compartmentalized and would not help unless rules were followed to the letter such as ticket submission and ticket completeness.
