Pros

Very relaxed place to work - very open on flexible working - as I have a young family, that counts for a lot. There is a very dynamic leadership team who have a clear vision, and are able to inspire - not just in the US, but in Europe where I work. I have learned a lot in my tenure here and have the opportunity to travel to both Europe and the US.

Cons

HQ is in the US - so, working outside the mother ship has its limitations in terms of having ownership outside of marketing and product purchasing - it is more a question of having to influence other business stakeholders.

Pros

Flexible, laid back, very smart teams. They embrace the Agile concept. Diversity of experiences if you are in the Chicago HQ office.

Cons

Though Agile is the philosophy, developers have too much power in how fast they move... projects drag on for ages. Very undisciplined approach to product innovation, poor documentation - lots of wasted time. Also, large portion of workforce is remote and there are very few opportunities for growth if working remotely. Pay for non-technology jobs, especially operations is sub-par for the amount of work.

Pros

the organization provide flexibility in working hours and telecommute provided you have a decent manager. the organization supplied free beverage and fruit which is a nice. The external activities such as Christmas party, picnic and off-site meeting are very nice and well organized. Once a month the company provides beer and wine on the 3rd Friday at 4 pm.

Cons

Any one could be a manager provided you have a MBA. Majority of managers have no idea of the products in their areas. The main thing about this organization is that the majority of employees are from other countries and it's difficult to understand what they say as English is not their first language. The company also has a non-written policy that your manager can have you fired if for any reason the manager does not like an employee.
