Pros

Corporate culture is nice. They try to keep their employees happy with various perks like monthly company sponsored happy hours, cash awards for work well done, birthday/anniversary notifications/gifts, etc. Senior management sends out annual company wide surveys & actually takes the responses seriously. The company started on the whole hackday trend, which is nice, although they didn't seem to capitalize on many of the great ideas.

Cons

It's a Perl shop. For software developers, there's not a lot of cutting edge technology, our software pretty much sucks in the email marketing realm, there's not strong leadership, there's not a clearly defined path for career growth, we seriously risk falling behind in the email market (our strong suit is customer service, not software!). People are leaving in droves & management is having a very difficult time with retention at this point.

Pros

Senior management has caught up to the fact that the company's strength comes from its people, therefore have been actively supporting the personal and professional development of employees, I feel that they are sincere in this effort. It is also a matter of personal responsibility and having the right attitude, of oneself taking charge.

Cons

What senior management has realized needs to be permeated to local management, it is still very hard to advance because the lack of resources, human and infrastructure, is not coming at a faster pace; there is still a lot of work to do on this front.
