Pros

Office culture is great - Friday lunches, happy hours, kitchen stocked with healthy snacks and fruits, friendly people. At the same time, there's a laser-sharp customer focus, and a sense of urgency; company management realizes that there is a window of opportunity in which they need to capture mindshare, and a commitment to capitalizing on it. What's better is that they realize the only way to do it is to ensure that the employees are on-board with the vision, so they make an extra effort to foster a fun, collaborative workplace.

Cons

Personally, I'm not a big fan of big-city offices. Commutes and food choices are terrible. Also, benefits could be better, though HR seems to realize that, and is working on improving them.

Pros

Great mission, company, and leadership Clear eye on the market and where the company should play Amazingly smart colleagues and collaboration Impressive culture Unlimited chances for internal exposure to a high level and recognition in public forums

Cons

No strong desire for work/life balance -- abundance of Type A people leads to overwork Unlimited vacation only works if people take it (which they often don't) Compensation is below market, especially when wide variance in R&R is accounted for Unsure if it's a startup or a corporation
