Pros

I felt compelled to add my positive review of the company as the quantity of negative reviews do not reflect what I see every day. I'm in development and I see a culture that has embraced agile development, is taking advantage of open source technologies, gets its developers the tools they need (macs, video conferencing equipment), encourages personal development (conferences, tuition reimbursement, books), hires selectively and does the best they can to balance new feature development with fixing defects and actively working on technical debt. I've worked at more than a half-dozen software companies and this is one of the best. The company is exceptional at communicating information and trusting employees to keep it confidential. Yes there is free soda and a lot of catered meals. But that's not what matters. Working with smart, fun people who are valued and who are doing work that matters is what makes me happy.

Cons

There are a LOT of meetings. And a LOT of email. Still trying to figure out the best way to accomplish what I need to accomplish without being in, or calling, so many meetings. There are more layers of senior management than I would expect at a company of this size.

Pros

Fun and exciting company. Being a "start up" company, there are loads and loads of opportunities to "create your own niche". Even though you might have been hired to do "X", if you've got some great ideas, they are welcomed, and encouranged, and often times, tried. People are fun and the company as a whole is a lot of fun, with weekly meetings and recognitions, pot-luck parties, etc. It's a laid back, casual, and great place to work.

Cons

As with a lot of companies, I saw several people get promoted because of either who they knew or how well they performed in their current job (which, when promoted to, for example, a manager, they might not have been well suited for a management role). There are lots of "hanger's-on" who have been in their role for a very long time, but I'm not really sure of what they did or how it fit in with the corporate goals.
