Pros

Really motivated environment. Pay was good and bonuses just about each quarter.

Cons

Very cliquish work environment. If you fit in, you succeeded, if not you were kind of left on your own.

Silo'd, close minded and very short term driven

Pros

Free Lunch twice a week! Plus, unless you're working in sales or tech support, your pay is very good and so are the quarterly bonuses.

Cons

Management is extremely short term driven-they have blinders on. They would rather take $10 today then $100 tomorrow. This cojones to the wall approach only works for small startups, not 1000+ employee companies. If you disagree with them, you are publicly ridiculed and eventually pushed out either passive aggressively- through pay cuts, promotion denials, etc. If you're in the boys or girls club, take your beating like a good boy/girl and kiss heini, you will get promoted.
