Pros

The ability to work from home is beyond awesome. I've never had any issues getting time off approved. The work atmosphere is second to none as its much akin to working together with a group of friends who are all in it together.

Cons

Sometimes the work load can get a bit much and the client demands can trend to the unreasonable. But find me a place that is a successful business that doesn't deal with similar peaks of activitity

Pros

Great company culture -- everyone is generally laid back. Talent is quickly discovered and promoted.., incompetence is weeded out quickly as well. Telecommuting more than half the time is a great perk. Management largely takes a hands-off approach as long as you're getting your work done. Internet chat rooms are a part of the culture, so the support network is excellent if you ever have questions or if you're stuck on something.

Cons

The primary application is just massive, which can be challenging for newcomers. Sometimes we let our clients dictate the direction of our product more than we should.

A Job That's Fun? Yes, It's TRUE!

Pros

It's not often that a person can leave a company, and actually miss it. It's rare that the friends you make a work actually remain friends for life. Though the rarest thing of them all? Having a boss that you can reflect on, years later, and realize that you're actually a better person because of them. The management here is outstanding. The leadership is that of a large corporation, meaning they know how to get business done professionally and on the ball. The attitude, however, is of a personable group of like-minded people who truly care. Leaders who want you to succeed, leader who know what your passions are and how your family is doing, and leaders who thrive on making you happy. These are leaders who exhibit vulnerability, trust and a clear vision for the company. There are some seriously amazing perks from working here, aside from the great leadership! There are working from home days, ample snacks, group outings, and great benefits. The overall vibe is welcoming, personable and just a whole lot of fun. Yes, working here was FUN.

Cons

I wouldn't necessarily consider this a con. However, if you don't have self discipline or motivation to get the job done, then this job is not for you. You have a lot of freedom here, which can easily be overwhelming for someone who's not use to it.
