Pros

With Silicon Slopes growing like crazy, a 25-year old company that sells contacts and eye glasses may not seem like a high-tech business. But if you are looking for a some challenging engineering problems to solve in growing a successful business to the next level, if you want to make a difference in people's lives, and if you want to be surrounded by great co-workers, 1-800 Contacts is the place to be. Some things to call out: - Equity for every employee (full and part time). We all have a vested interest in the company succeeding - Management that cares about employees achieving their best, and proves it by mentoring, training, and promoting from within while still bringing in outside viewpoints and experience - A healthy focus on work-life balance

Cons

- Still trying to find the right way to organize development teams for maximum efficiency. Causes some disruption, but it is all in search of a better way.
