Pros

A tough, versatile, and top of the line team. Working in an Agile shop and using PHP to both develop and automate their infrastructure. A laid-back team willing and able to shift drastically to meet both internal and external client needs. Not to mention their application and services is unique!

Cons

The small team size places a lot of strain on resources, similar to how most start-ups work. The strain is fun, although if your a JR or non-C-level/ non-senior employee their compensation may not be competitive enough to encourage employer retention.

Pros

I got to meet a lot of cool interesting, nerdy comic book folx. A lot of my co-workers were part of the LGBTQ community, which helps. People are generally happy to help each other, if they can.

Cons

Almost everything else. I worked 50-60+ hours for 10 years and got passed over for opportunities and promotions over and over again. I had 8 bosses in 10 years, so it was hard to get any traction if you wanted to do anything else with your career, Unless you sucked up to management or just had some genius level learning aptitude. (By the way, it's not a great place for people with disabilities either). I had so much more I could have offered the company, but they really didn't care. It was a boring, soul-sucking, draining job and now that I've been laid off, it's been really hard finding employment again. Yes, I'm a very bitter ex-Amazon employee. You might say, "why didn't you just leave before?" Well, good question. I tried with no success.
