Pros

Company values are clear, all the way from the CEO, down to line-level managers. There are frequent touchpoints between an employee and his/her manager and everyone is open to honest feedback. The interview process may be long, but the attrition rate is extremely low. Product development teams work in an open, cross-functional format (programmer, testing, product owner) so there is a lot of cross-team communication and very little stereotypical specification passing.

Cons

They have built a lot of their own tools/frameworks internally. Their applications are built on top of a custom language that they have built themselves. Which makes it difficult to stay on top of happenings in the general development community. After a while, this starts to bring you down

For a company where many employees travel around the world, it lacks basic services and procedures to be followed when there are unexpected events

Pros

Career objectives and desires are taken into account. Communication is easy at all levels. We all do our best to help and encourage each other.

Cons

Some aspects of the job require good autonomy, which is not easy for everyone. There is a very broad amount of resources to help us in our job that is sometimes difficult to locate.
