Pros

Exposure to state-of-the-art technologies. Strong culture of innovation with room to experiment. Hackathons several times a year that encourage creativity and allow employees to test new technologies.

Cons

Very little emphasis on HR-led social events or company-wide gatherings; those who value big celebrations or parties may find this lacking.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
