Pros

- hight flexibility (working remotely) - passioned and smart people - low bureaucracy (reporting is reduced to a bare minimum) - open source done right

Cons

- salaries are not where they should be. Most of the salary increases are triggered by engineers and not by management - working remotely has its challenges (self discipline)

Pros

People are excited about the work they're doing. Lots of freedom to do the right thing. Open source mentality cuts out a lot (but not all) of the bureaucratic nonsense. The office and work environment are nice, modern and a lot of fun.

Cons

Lots of systems to work with, and not all of them are well-integrated, leading to patchwork business processes, questions about ownership, and some duplicated effort between teams.

Pros

Excellent work atmosphere, great cafeteria and game room to relax in when needed. Downtown location is great for entertaining clients and potential customers. Management on most teams are very supportive and excited to have intelligent, energetic people working for them.

Cons

Getting qualified people hired via referrals is tough (Recruiters -) Growing pains mostly, lack of great communication between departments.
