Pros

- Great pay - Mostly a great bunch to work with and small team extremely efficient. - Great learning curve for any developer at most levels.

Cons

- Director of Operations micromanages your time checking every 5 min with "how are you doing?" - Communication between CTO, managers and staff flaky can lead to major misunderstandings. - Amount of work available seems to go through wild swings of not enough man hours to what do we do with this lot.

Pros

Lean, mean and agile, in every sense of the word. Fearlessness of trying new things and always striving to ride the technological and organisational cutting edge. Everyone is here for the right reasons, trust is integral, and the whole team is on the same page concerning aspirations and priorities. The realities of software development can in the best of times be arduous, but this team of some of the sharpest, most skilled devs I have ever worked with always finds a way to break down and solve any issue. The clients are very high-profile and demanding, and the team is extremely astute and proud in delivering on every level. Ultra-high flexibility in work location as well as for taking time off and partitioning one's work day means that a developer is left to fully realize their autonomy in the team, in their daily tasks and in their knowledge acquisition. As a dev, there are few places that can offer more in terms of professional development and personal freedom.

Cons

Very exacting standards of work and a timezone-distributed labor force can mean working the occasional odd hours. A small, intimate team with high, concentrated skill levels potentially leads to siloing of expertise, at the risk of opinionated standards and processes.
