Pros

I really like the challenging and stimulating work, as well as the accommodating vacation policy. Especially enjoy the interaction with our customers. I like that management wants you to work where your strengths lie and where you're most comfortable.

Cons

People change teams and roles and it's sometimes hard to keep track of who is the best person to talk to on a particular topic. Advancement can be slow.

Pros

-Managers listen to feedback. -Constantly asked for feedback and tend to get some form of action on that feedback. -Coworkers are the friendliest and most thankful I've ever worked with. -I actually feel appreciated at my job.

Cons

-No Amp Energy drinks in the soda machines!

Pros

*unlimited upside for the business *a "Foolish" management culture which is about servant leadership *still early on and still a small company *Fast Company articles about collaboration and games at the company, the internal university, unlimited vacation policy, etc. are external validations of long-held internal policies

Cons

*frequent job changes -- don't come in thinking your job description is inscribed in stone -- you likely will be doing more than you thought, or different stuff *company expects employees to be self-accountable and take ownership of what they're doing -- this won't work for everyone

Thanks so much for your review. Excellent advice about finding opportunities to help members benefit from the programs we've developed internally. We also appreciate your comment about accountability - we really want Fools to take ownership of their careers and be entrepreneurial in their roles. Thanks!
