Pros

Coworkers are great. A great culture that’s slowly degraded to a new normal. There’s potential for greatness. You’ll learn a lot, assuming you have the right connections and get into good projects. Still better then most corporate jobs.

Cons

5 star reviews that sound oddly like the leaderships hopes. Turbulence. Never ending revolving door at every level. The great people are inevitably finding themselves much better off elsewhere. Benefits are slowly reduced and are noticeably less then the competition. The common theme is to pay under market rates. The last leader who cared was replaced and now it’s purely about the vision of current leadership, subject to change based on the winds of the day. Limited growth potential. Lay offs.

Pros

- Sales is well compensated. - Dog friendly work place. - Free beer after 4 or 4:30. - Opportunity to learn some important lessons. - Many different projects = many different clients = many opportunities to network and find your next job.

Cons

- Developers, Solution Engineers, and SPM/Project Managers are severely underpaid. - Frustrating projects. Most SPMs don't have any previous project management experience. Even less have software lifecycle management experience. - Nepotism rules. If you're not related to someone on the executive team, it's very likely that you'll be passed up for someone who is. - Volatility ahead. Dead set on explosive / uncontrolled growth, inexperienced and unqualified people are being promoted up instead of bringing in experienced leaders from the outside. Nobody knows what's going on. - Pride or arrogance, the place reeks of school spirit gone way too far. It's great to take pride in what you do, where you work, who you work with -- but it's dangerous when you become complacent instead of being humbled by feedback. You'll hear more "we're badass" or "we're the next Google" instead of "Sorry for screwing up your project, client. Let's figure out how we can avoid it next time."
