Pros

Good store discount, good 401k match. The culture was good.

Cons

1. The whole IT department is a mess. 2. The developers are treated as second class. My manager stated that we are just coders. 3. When employee leaves, the managers don't give farewell lunches for developers, but take out business people. 4. The managers push developers to work crazy hours.

Pros

Working with new technology, ahead of the curve as far as continuous integration, code quality, test coverage etc.

Cons

During my last 4 months management has been a core issue, very opinionated, rude, and constructive criticism isnt taken well. Many engineers have left including myself, as well as top product people.
