Pros

Great people, hard-working, and a get-it-done attitude. It is never dull, and there is lots of interest in finding ways to accomplish things quickly.

Cons

The company is unable to schedule, prioritize, or manage competing interests. Each day is a fire. Everything is a top priority, and many, many things get no attention until they are a pressing issue.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
