      Culture is excellent in theory, frustrating in practice

      Pros

      -transparency of management -open and honest feedback -genuine "care" of employees -good benefits -sense of community -flexibility to move within company -level of ownership of individuals

      Cons

      -culture can get in the weeds (senior managers being involved down to the weedy details of the department) -hire smart "thinkers" -- but could use more experienced hires, and many experienced hires may be thwarted by the culture -tendency to recreate the wheel -culture is not long-term sustainable for most people

      Open, Honest, Uneven

      Pros

      They really mean the culture stuff. Lots of very smart, motivated people. Predictable but non-wow bonus structure for most employees. Good catered lunches every day. They try to find ways to enable interesting extracurricular activities.

      Cons

      Long hours more or less every day for everybody. Not much of a maternity leave policy. Very restrictive non-compete agreement. Don't expect a 'Wall Street bonus' to retire on, ever.
