Pros

High relative compensation intended to keep new talent Work from home 1-2 days a week Flexible daily schedules: you can work pretty much any 8 hours of the day Mandatory that employees take one full work-week off per year, otherwise 'unlimited' PTO (subject to manager's approval, of course) Large yearly bonuses for all employees Good medical/dental insurance plans Best 401k matching you can get Will help pay for tuition or for certifications

Cons

Too many management tiers causing frequent communication breakdowns and slowdowns due to every piece of new information having to make its way through the chain of command Much of management is out of touch with the work that goes on below them Too many meetings that could have been an email. People are afraid to communicate via email for fear of being held to something they said Still using technologies of the past, and only very slowly moving into the future Big projects are accomplished via pressure from above, not adequate project planning Project management and capacity management contribute to slowdowns by complicated and inefficient processes that don't bring real value Programmers often have project managers with no technical background as their direct supervisor
