Pros
- Work with laid back professionals. Too often, people can't walk the line between taking nothing seriously and taking everything too seriously. My co-workers help me get things done, quickly, without the stress. - Work with modern tools. Github? Yup. Teamcity? Yup. The list goes on - I don't find myself fighting with anyone's pet tool or unwise purchase. - Work on a product with heavily engaged customers. You will work on features that people are clamoring for, and you will meet people who'll give you a high five for implementing it. How cool is that? - Work remotely. For an introvert, you never realize how much energy the office is sapping from you until you don't go to one any more. I have more energy for my work AND my personal life.
Cons
- Cultural fit. Until I hung out with co-workers socially, outside of work time, I didn't realize exactly how amazing of a cultural fit it was. Being distributed, the opportunities to do this are not regular! That said, there is a yearly retreat and several opportunities to attend conferences both to learn and to work the booth.
