Pros

+ The company promotes a friendly atmosphere. Most people are very polite. + Interesting work (at least it was for me)

Cons

- Not all teams care about work life balance. Some people end up working 60 hours a week. - Disconnect between managers and engineers. They don't really seem to understand what's going on in the code, leaving it up to the engineer to explain to his/her manager why meeting a deadline is absolutely impossible working 40 hours per week. - Middle management could do with some more training. - Office politics is a big thing. The talker is valued more than the worker. - Egos. Especially in some of the core development teams, there seem to be arguments between senior engineers all the time. Junior engineers really have no say. - Most new hires look like international NCGs who are willing to work excessive overtime shifts, which might explain the shifting expectations of the engineering side. - Average pay for 40 hours. Horrible pay if you're putting in 60, which is not uncommon. - Not very diverse.
