Pros

It's a challenging environment. You're always doing something new and interesting, and I learned a ton while I was there. The technology they use is really impressive. The time off policy is very generous, and they're generally flexible when you need to be out.

Cons

The owner runs hot and cold. One month he thinks you walk on water, and the next he's threatening to fire you. Salaries are well below industry average, and raises are few and far between. They do give bonuses occasionally, and management always points that out when asked for a raise, but they don't seem to understand that infrequent bonuses are not the same as a regular bump in income.

The company is fabulous to work for. I have been employed here for a little over 2 years and I have not once regretted my choice.

Cons

Nothing to say right now.

Pros

They use cutting edge technologies--cloud storage, html5, .Net 4.0 etc. If you work here, you will learn a lot about the latest and greatest. They do an excellent job of keeping up to date. Also, they give their developers unprecedented freedom. You are free to make a name for yourself (good or bad) from day 1. That kind of goes along with being in such a small company. Finally, everyone there is incredibly intelligent. If you continuously find yourself smarter than your peers, you'll be delighted that you no longer have to explain base concepts such as timing holes.

Cons

This is a high pressure environment because of two reasons: 1) Everyone is smart. You can't get away on your intelligence or your technical skills. You have to be at the top of your game just to keep up. 2) It's a small company. Everyone sees the fruits of your labor--from your coworker to the CEO to the support staff. Also, you have to be very politically savvy. You have to be able to stand your ground without stepping on toes. This wasn't a problem for me, but it's something that is hard to learn if you don't already know how Finally, their benefits are quite bad: Simple IRA, very expensive healthcare, and a vacation/sick policy from the 80s.
