Pros
Thorough onboarding tech training (Ruby, Rails, RSpec/Cucumber, SQL, Linux, front end) Full-stack teams minimize--mostly--management overhead Innovation is encouraged and recognized Nobody in Software Engineering is bored--lots of work Great work-life balance 90% of the time--launches and outages excepted Flat management, very little bureaucracy Company takes recruiting and hiring very seriously Great perks, including full stocked kitchen and sabbaticals Working with amazingly smart people
Cons
Career path not well defined beyond Manager/Squad Leader Full compensation seems to be competitive, but base salaries are pretty average Weight gain from aforementioned fully stocked kitchen
