Pros

It has some of the advantages of a big company and a little company rolled up together. There's a lot of room for people to work on new projects and products, but you have the resources and perks of a larger company.

Cons

Lots of information seems to get lost. You need to track everything to really know what's going on throughout the company. There's very little internal documentation, and what does exist is out of date. It's clear what you're rated on as far as promotions go, but there's less transparency about other aspects.

Pros

Growing company even in tough times. Accessible leadership. Good compensation and benefits packages.

Cons

Fast growth = young leaders without much experience and lack of formal mentoring and leadership development programs leave many new managers fending for themselves.

Pros

They seem to understand the desires that many developers have, seem to have a good grasp on changing technology and how it can improve their product. The people are extremely nice and fun, a good place to be around.

Cons

Norwalk is not the most glamorous place to live, but the people are really great there. They lag behind some other companies in areas such as flex hours and dress code, which isn't a big deal but is really nice to have.
