Pros

My manager didn't care about vacation time, if work wasn't stacking up. 4 free tickets to Universal Studios.

Cons

Crappy laptop to do development on. Have to have that same crappy laptop for 5 years, sadness. Irritating quarterly meetings, latest is they only want you to leave on the last day whereas before you could at least leave the next morning.

Pros

Company culture is big. Team members are awesome. Ownership allows developers to learn.

Cons

Underpaid, overexpected, and overall disheartening. No perks, no compensation increases, no promotions.
