Pros

dress code. flexible hours. new cafeteria.

Cons

managers want one thing one second and another thing a next. there is ZERO positive reinforcement for a job well done. performance feedback is nonexistent. need to trust more in employees and be less like big brother. managers are stretched thin.

Pros

Being with others your own age, flexible schedule, party-like atmosphere

Cons

Soooo many long hours sitting that many develop physical problems. Taking too many legitimate sick days (a killer flu) gets you in trouble, though you have a doctor's note. Some employees who were bumped up to manager status in the hiring blitz have no idea what they're doing. One is known to have admitted she "doesn't like people" and avoid most of her staff, except her favorites.

Pros

Laid back. Nice people. Certain departments can work from home every Wednesday. Relaxed hours.

Cons

Every time big news happens, which is oftentimes bad news these days, they blame it on "being a young company". While they certainly still are a young company, it is getting to the point where they cannot keep blaming their mistakes on that and start hiring the right people in management.
