Pros

Flexible schedule, including work-from-home opportunities Free coffee and bottled water Personal laptops are decent

Cons

In a word: Bloated. -- Top heavy! Everyone is a VP or a Director or a Senior Blahblahblah. Too many people who like to hear themselves talk. You will go to meetings all day every day, but nothing every gets done. -- No willingness from management to innovate or even entertain ideas from staff. -- Completely inefficient processes across the board, which can be frustrating, to say the least. -- Many staff who will not question why they are doing things that don'e make sense, and will outright resist any attempt to improve upon processes, likely because they do nothing of importance live and in fear of losing their jobs because of it. -- Compensation can be decent, if you come in high. Annual raises are downright laughable. -- Stock options are now worthless. Thankfully I never exercised mine. -- No attempts by management to retain quality employees, which reflects in the overall attitude (everyone seems to just be collecting a paycheck and biding their time, not really caring). -- I could go on, but why bother? I just don't care anymore.

Pros

There are some really sharp people here, pleasure to work with. Relaxed environment, no rush on anything. Flexibility in terms of time off, remote work (not a policy, but allowed if you have a doctor's appointment in the mid day or something similar to that). Technology is up to date, and they are pretty good in staying that way. Company provides you with desktop, laptop, mobile phone and 4G card.

Cons

Some managers are simply not listening to you. Hard to get the ideas through. Promotions are given to those who stay long rather to those who deserve them. If you want a match-to-market raise - impossible. Yearly raises/bonuses are a joke. It looks like people get compensated very differently, some managers are paid less then people who report to them. Some senior developers are paid much more then others. Workspace is horrible if you are a new hire. They give you quarter of a cube (even if you are perm).
