Pros

Free beer. BBQ. Hackathons. Cross functional teams. Office dogs

Cons

I love how the positive reviews in the last week make no mention of the mass redundancy recently or the number of developers and QAs who got off the sinking ship early. Do the shareholders know how the company operates? Blame culture from management, feature factory where it's about getting things out the door quickly by sacrificing quality. The CEO pulled the QAs in an meeting room and made them feel like garbage thus all quitted few months later. Big lack of trust in a 'self organising team' that management promotes. A developer was seriously underpaid and management tries justifying it saying not enough in the budget. Yet spent 10k plus on a party few months later

Trouble from the top

Pros

Most of the people that work there are nice. If you really like hitting the booze, or seeing other people hit the booze (sometimes before lunch), this is the place for you!

Cons

The biggest issue in the company is that management don't trust the people they've hired to do their jobs. I saw a large number of people given no real support or help, just to be micro-managed when they couldn't divine what management wanted them to do. Regardless of whether they figure out what management want or not, if anything goes south, the executive team are very quick to point the finger at everyone else when stuff isn't going well. I personally think this explains why they recently made a large number of people redundant. They're really focused on features / churn at the expense of quality, which isn't a bad thing, but the rate they actually turn features out is incredibly slow. Anytime something's close to being finished, expect eight stakeholders (in a fifty person company) to step in and tell the team what to re-build. Some people have good product ideas, but are largely drowned out by the executive team forcing people to focus on chasing competitors. Management are also so insecure that they've been pressuring staff into writing positive glass door reviews. Also in all seriousness, the culture around drinking in the company is a problem.

Pros

Beers are free
 Free toast & cereal
 Some very talented and inspiring people

Cons

- Well established finger-pointing culture
 - Your voice won't be heard, unless you're as famous as Gandhi - Tell you to do one thing, and blame you at the end for doing it
 - Good track records on sacking people if they are not only doing as they told
 - Hire experts but disrespect them and their expertise
 - Micromanage every little thing
 - C-suite doesn't have trust in their teams, at all. And some doesn't even show respect to the people that working hard.
