Pros

* Logos is growing - There are leadership opportunities if you work towards them * There is plenty to learn - We pick up new technologies quickly * You have some say in the team you work on * Previous language experience is not mandatory for new projects * Unlimited vacation * Excellent people * Unlimited drinks/coffee and the coffee is good * Your pick of office chair (Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap, etc) * The CEO is very reachable and will take time to meet with you * Specs are Photoshop mockups and designers are willing to take suggestions * Developers are treated very well - Some companies treat developers as an expense, not here!

Cons

* Some teams have a mess for a codebase * You have to fight for what (career opportunities/project features/pay/etc) you want * Your family will need private health insurance * Seniority means very little

Pros

Co-workers are very intelligent. Company is growing and has lots of room for personal growth and increasing your responsibilities. Awesome perks and policies (a "no vacation policy" policy, for instance). Location is great if you like downtown in a small city. Good views of the bay or mountains from some offices.

Cons

You must ask for raises and responsibility. The culture heavily favors those who have a lot of initiative. Low performers (sometimes a very subjective term) are weeded out without a lot of fanfare or notice on a frequent basis. This can be good because it means you are cutting the fat but its a bit disheartening sometimes to lose a co-worker. Pay is on the lower end of the scale compared to other companies in the area. While technically available for spouses and children, the healthcare is so ridiculously expensive that it may as well not be available. Pretty much everyone opts for different plans for their families. 401k matching is not great compared to other companies.

Pros

* Build tools that help people know God better. This is, hands-down, the #1 benefit of working at Logos. * Leaders encourage individual growth by providing incentives and means to succeed. For example: taking on a project where you have little background in the technology? Check out a book from the extensive on-site library or request it be special-ordered for you. Learn. Go build something awesome. * Developers are given great freedom to innovate: own the a product from conception, through development, testing, release and maintenance. Choose what technology use, what development methodologies, how to manage releases, etc. * Use the latest technologies to solve real problems * Application presence on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Web. * The company culture is biased toward the self-directed who are able to take the ambiguous and turn it into something awesome without a ton of hand-holding. This is a Pro or a Con... depending on who you are. * Indoor center with movies, games, large TVs, board games, ping-pong, Foosball * Outdoor center with snow gear, camping gear, kayaks, bike repair shop, disc golf equipment * Unlimited coffee and other beverages (CEO came from Microsoft) * Insulated music room on-site * Work in sunny Arizona or mountainous western Washington * Steady growth (> 15% / yr) over the last 15 years in spite of recession

Cons

* No health insurance coverage for dependents * Minimally competitive employee health insurance * The company culture is biased toward the self-directed who are able to take the ambiguous and turn it into something awesome without a ton of hand-holding. This is a Pro or a Con... depending on who you are. * Has reputation for being cold and heartless when addressing individual employee performance problems * Market dominance breeds complacency; products should lead the industry in features AND polish, not just the former.
