Pros

Pay is decent. Good benefits. Lots of free food. Work schedule is very flexible (but expect to work A LOT) Lots of smart fun people (managers excluded). CEO is nice.

Cons

Operations expects you to work 24x7. Everything is a crisis (even when it isn't). Don't expect to be recognized for outstanding work or extra effort. Promotion from within is a joke, unless you happen to be friends with someone high up. A significant number of managers and directors are incompetent and have no idea what is going on. Good ideas are ignored (again, unless you are friends with someone high up).

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

Smart people Many people really care about customer experience Some departments still exhibit good teamwork and positive attitudes Pockets of collaboration still exist within specific departments

Cons

Trend has been growing where individuals are more concerned with individual/department influence than what is the right solution for the customer or organization as a whole.
