Cons

I know our Tech Ops are slammed with projects most of the time, but sometimes our internal computing resources are inaccessible or just plain slow. Invest, invest invest! I don't know how our resourcing manager does as much as he does on his own. Its easy to under-sell yourself. Its also easy to occasionally wind up on a project where the wrong skills are allocated to meet a certain set of criteria, so the project shifts and remolds multiple times.

Pros

Sure, the perks are fantastic—free soda and food, bring your dog to work, choose your own hours—but the real fabric of what makes this place great is the trust senior management has in all of their employees. You're respected and treated like an adult from day 1, instead of having to spend months or years proving you're worth respecting. Senior management genuinely believes that their employees can go about their day without micromanagement and hand-holding. Because the employees are treated with respect, they in turn respect the company and maintain a good work ethic. Collaboration is also rampant among the employees, even across departments.

Cons

There is a bit of a "rockstar" attitude amongst the developers (not all of them, but a substantial amount). The truly arrogant ones usually don't last long (or don't get hired in the first place) but there are a few cases where the company's encouragement of the rockstar mentality is all that's needed to make someone a primadonna. Also, positive feedback is everywhere (which is great) but constructive feedback on performance is hard to come by unless you actively seek it out.

Pros

Fun place to work Challenging projects Excellent opportunities for Collaboration Lots of support and assistance to developers to be and become awesome. Where pros become pros and super pros become leaders.

Cons

This place needs to do a better job of getting their name out within our industry and our area. We need to do a better job of attracting and keeping top notch talent. We need to branch out and become a national solutions provider.
