      Pros

      Interesting work and a real commitment to hire good people and to work with the open source community. Lots of flexibility to work from home. The people are generally smart and very committed.

      Cons

      Most of the company works from home so you have to be able to be very independent and to reach out to others when you need it. Some strange decision making processes and some difficult people. In some areas very low tech and little automation: expense systems are awful (like everywhere). Managers generally are supportive and push lots of responsibility and authority downwards but with some exceptions.
