Pros

There's a five-year probation period. You have a really long time to prove yourself, so, take advantage of it. Plus, they give you a lot of independence early on (enough to hang yourself with--I've seen it).

Cons

Feedback from management is practically nil. They're only recently decided to *start* adopting some industry-standard technologies (a bit late in the game, in my opinion). A lot of the skills you learn there aren't really transferrable to other jobs as a result.

Pros

Working for a small, but quickly growing company has a great feeling to it. The culture is amazing, there's every sort of person around you and everyone is very helpful, communicative, and easy to get along with outside of work. The environment is laid back but professional so; I always feel like I need to work to the best of the ability, not because I'm told to, but because everyone around me is so ridiculously intelligent and good at what they do. It's really motivating to work around so many intelligent people. Working from home is very flexible and not frowned upon at all, but you still want to make it to work everyday just to be around your peers. I really love that engineering managers are expected to continuously perform and not just sink into management roles.

Cons

Only thing that ever bothers me is the location, but that's hardly a problem in a relative sense, it's just a busy area.
