Pros

Relaxed environment without a lot of micromanagement. Usually working on large and somewhat interesting projects, so at least its wasn't boring.

Cons

A lot of time it seemed management had some very unrealistic expectations in the way they calculated project deadlines. Generally expect to work 70-80 hours a week, EVERY week. (and weekend, and be expected to answer emails at 3am) They also seem to have a very bad habit of NOT paying former employees what they're owed. Don't expect to receive anything after you leave.

Pros

The company management is very generous and allowed me to continue my education while under employment, also when a personal matter arose they where more then generous with allowing me time off. The management was willing to listen to me make criticism about the company and policy and used it in a constructive manner to build and grow. The projects are often very exciting and deal with large structure such as clustered databases and servers this often made the process of development very educational. Also the developer team is often very supportive and willing to listen to all opinions and feedback on challenging problems that might arise.

Cons

The project managers where somewhat overbearing in obtaining and following deadlines, even if the deadline was outrageous. They often would not accept reasonable estimates and if given an estimate would immediately communicate that to the client as a deadline completely ignoring QA process.
