Pros

Good people, variety of technologies, travel opportunities, ethical employer.

Cons

Projects can be a bit samey - great if you like building websites. Can be on the road a lot and might have to roll onto projects that don't fit with your personal circumstances or career objectives.

Pros

Get to work with some amazing people and learn some cool practices.

Cons

A lot of hypocrisy. Most of the work is on average web apps, but the company talks as if they code for NASA. Senior management preaches about doing good things in life without arguing about pay. Opportunities, reviews, ratings and salary hikes are SOLELY based on perception and not at all on the skill level or how about effort one puts in. More of Talk Works than Thought Works.
