Pros

- Numerous opportunities to better yourself via conferences, learning tools, code reviews, and very sharp people to work alongside. - Family friendly, go home at a normal hour, and I rarely brought my work home. - Fair - my supervisor met with me for 1-1's regularly, my requests/suggestions which weren't always simple were given serious consideration and acted on when warranted. I always felt like a valued employee and working hard was a joy. - Fun - This is in the eye of the beholder, and you get what you put into something, but when I left this company, I knew I'd be hard pressed to beat the culture here.

Cons

Like any big organization, change, new technologies, etc were tough, but that's to be expected and in hindsight, not every new thing is good to embrace anyway. There also felt like a lot of management. More than was necessary, but I didn't find it a serious detractor.

Pros

Free soda and free lunch when they 'suggest' that you work through your lunch hour to meet your 'numbers' which are constantly manipulated.

Cons

Passive aggressive brow beating for not meeting your numbers / quotas, when they make it ridiculous to do so due to upping those goals because corporate overshot predictions.
