Business Outlook

Pros

The office is great, and they care a lot about the employees. They are always looking for ways to make the office space better. Flexible about vacation time, working from home, and hours in the office (alot of people come in around 10-11 instead of the traditional 9-5). Despite the relaxed office environment, everyone works hard and gets stuff done.

Cons

None I can think of

Pros

young, dynamic environment, take good care of their employees, interesting technical issues, state of the art technology (using c# though)

Cons

going through a rough patch now with all the controversy, law suits, un-known future; grew very fast so there is now over emphasis on process (will get better over time though), long hours (problematic if you have kids and family), weekend support during NFL season, on call over night one week a month
