Pros

While I can't speak for times before this fall (2014), nor for other departments besides my own, I can say my time has been quite enjoyable. They do take feedback as a serious matter and different teams work together to make one product. At times you will run into issues where one team expects another to have already implemented a feature to their product, but that happens everywhere. Management is pleasant and very open. The environment is very laid back but still professional. They also do various events at times and otherwise treat the production team as a family instead of separate entities under the OU chart. There is also a lot of growth from within, as when I started a good 4-5 people moved up the business ranks.

Cons

I was more or less brought in just as the push for the newest major version of their product was being completed, so I had to start off jogging. Which, for me it wasn't bad as I learn with practicality, but it could be a bit more difficult for others. The pay is salary, but from my experience there's no work-horse mentality there which also balances it out. Communication between teams could be better, but for the most part it is not difficult at all.

Pros

The people are great. Lots of innovation in an unpredictable industry. Company appreciates hard workers and rewards them. Great opportunities available for advancement and promotion as the company is on a rapid growth trajectory. Much talent exists here. Great to work with intelligent, dedicated people who really want to make a difference. Glad I work here!

Cons

As with many fast growing organizations, systems and processes need some refining. Communication channels (formal and informal) are always challenging but much effort is being made to 'get it right'.

Pros

Company makes a lot of money. Located within 1 mile of 11 different pubs to help drown your sorrows.

Cons

The company has a megalomaniacal attitude which churns through executives over & over, by treating them like incompetent fools, via tactics that include public screaming, belittlement, impatience, and rudeness. You will be the expert in your field until a simple misunderstanding then it will be made clear to whomever in the room that you are not the right person for the position you are representing.
