Pros

Lots of responsibility on projects, control over your dev environment, everyone gets VMWare Workstation (no need to request VMs from a different org), nice laptops, lots of people willing to help if you get stuck, lots of repeat customers, company is growing. Happy Hours are fun, lots of company sponsored events and sports team (broomball, softball, golf tournament, Holiday dinner, summer picnic, Ryder Cup last year, etc).

Cons

Some projects are more much fun than others

Pros

• Coworkers are very knowledgeable. Senior employees will often juggle their responsibilities in addition to providing guidance whenever you need it. • Company "Peloton" awards (company-wide acknowledgement, gift card) can be granted from any employee to another for recognizing great work. • It is a smaller company with a tight-knit "family" feel, you get to know everyone from new hires to the president. Regular happy hours, ping pong/foosball, "President's Club" trips (normally all-inclusive to Mexico with significant others if company numbers are met annually), recreational sports, etc. help build and maintain friendships. • As an Oracle/Google partner, there is 100% probability of working with large, exciting organizations on a regular basis. • Consulting allows you to work on multiple projects simultaneously, and switch to new projects regularly, which accelerates learning and introduces you to a wide variety of technologies.

Cons

• As a small company that supports many products, you will naturally need to wear a lot of hats and fill in to projects based on the demand of the sales pipeline. It is difficult to become a true expert or keep up with the latest released features in a few products when you need to focus 20-40 hours/week on unrelated products for another project. Because of this, you tend to be a more reactive resource in sales calls or new projects rather than a proactive authority. • Work from home options have started to be introduced, but remain limited and restrictive. • A significant portion of your pay comes from an "Incentive Bonus", where the only metric to meet the bonus is billing hours to a client project. The idea makes sense at a high level, but is a detriment to other initiatives within the company like supporting the sales team, internal infrastructure / demo environment maintenance, product development, training and certifications, documenting standard practices, and management / mentorship responsibilities.
