Pros

Monetary compensation is currently slightly above average. Everyone gets their birthday off. Sometimes there is free food.

Cons

Office is a ghost town and roughly 1/3 occupied due to considerable recent layoffs. Depressing work environment in every sense. Health insurance costs to employee continue to rise. No 401k. Expected to work weekends, evenings, middle of the night, with little warning. Not a conducive job for anyone with a family or personal life. There have been a few new hires and all have been in Mexico.

Jenkon is an interesting place for developers

Pros

The "base product" is really only used for sales. After a client signs on the base product is heavily customized for that client's needs, which makes for opportunity to do something new fairly regularly. Along with all this greenish-field development, Jenkon is usually willing to try latest techs, stacks and frameworks on different clients, so you can get exposure to a lot of different things.

Cons

The downside to customizing code in such a way is that any given customer's branch isn't recognizable as the base product any more, and rarely are changes or bug fixes in one customer usable with another customer. Which means Jenkon is essentially a consulting company, but act like they are selling (and supporting) a product. I am not saying that consulting is a con, but Jenkon's hybrid consulting/product approach has inherent difficulties to support all that customized code. Upgrades were a nightmare because all of the customers' features were essentially rebuilt off of the latest "base product" branch, essentially meaning customers had to pay again to implement the same thing. It might be that I'm not cut out for consulting-type work, but I found it very hard to be proud of my work without the type of direction that you usually see in developing a single product.
