Pros

Great dev computers, 3 monitors, lots of VMs, fruit delivered twice a week, free iPads, free soda and drinks, happy hours once a month(free alcohol), ping pong and foosball in the cafe and great social people. I truly enjoy working here, the people are great, you are expected to work hard and do a great job but they support you and you can work fairly flexible hours. I think the management is going in the right direction and they listen to alternate ideas and criticism but like any job, if you argue with them and tell them no, you are going to lose your job. We like working with only the best of the best in order to get our jobs done. This is definitely a work hard and party hard environment which supports and encourages being social well adjusted people. Though you work hard, its a very laid back company and atmosphere. Happy hours or after party long after work has ended are a lot of fun and can get pretty crazy but what happens outside of work does not influence perceptions during work. There is a real separation between work and personal life.

Cons

Sometimes you really have to work hard, stay late in order to meet deadlines; a lot is expected of us. Turn over is fairly high, you are either right for the company or not and won't be here long. Social interactions are encouraged so if you cannot handle that, this might not be the right place for you.

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
