Pros

Good co-workers. Somewhat competitive compensation.High level of talent among developers and engineers. Active and engaged CEO.

Cons

Pro-open source and meritocracy more a marketing stunt than how projects are run and how people are recognized. Lots of politics especially among projects and business units. Lack of CTO means no long term strategic decision.

Pros

Culture is relaxed. Team bonds are close. Great financial position as a company. Takes an act of God to fire anyone so job stability is there.

Cons

Low pay. Lack of appreciation for hard work. Politics. Terrible leadership in key functions. Takes an act of God to terminate poor performers so overall productivity has gone down over years.

Pros

Flexible work environment, fantastic attitude amongst most of the employees, excellent corporate leadership including CEO, CFO, and CIO

Cons

On occasion, like most companies, there is a bit of politics going on. Not near as bad as many companies I have been at though.
