Pros

Casual environment with work/life balance. (flexible hours, ability to work from home) Lot's of amenities (full service cafeteria, coffee shop, gym) Good communication and exposure from senior leadership regarding mission, vision, values, strategic initiatives, financials. Good talent management and HR support. Career path and growth was part of the culture.

Cons

Expense control mode. Constant cutting and reducing, yet still operating to drive change and growth, doing a lot more with a lot less.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
