Great place for what they do.

Pros

Interesting challenges on a daily basis. Getting things done right and fast is a way of life. There IS something called a "free lunch".

Cons

Future of individuals is not very clear. The management might be in the know of what is coming next, but bottom-of-the-tree employees don't. Maybe through gossips and knowing the right people, but not officially. Not that its bad, but being in the know of what's coming next would be a good morale boost.

Pros

My team is filled with great talented people. Most of the others are rock solid coworkers, with varying skills and backgrounds. The work life balance is pretty good, with the vast majority of my working days being 8-9 hours.

Cons

Senior Management has some weaknesses and blind spots. There are also some issues with the date-driven culture and how that affects the quality of delivery.
