Pros

Exposure to multiple web applications is the experience you probably can't get anywhere else. Unlimited PTO. Also, it's pretty hard to get fired here unless you are trying to destroy the company.

Cons

Incompetent management. The middle management is more likely promoted because they are buddies rather than qualifications. Also the pay is criminally low for the bay area.

Pros

I worked with a really great team of friendly, driven, talented people. We were all committed to writing solid, quality, usable software to make a difference for our users. Those who came before did a lot of solid work to establish best practices, update technologies and establish a maintainable product, despite the mountains of technical and organizational debt that surrounded them. There is all new management at the top, but results, so far, are mixed as to whether they are willing or able to address the long standing issues.

Cons

Unfortunately, what the company ultimately wanted was to throw features together as quick as possible without regard to quality or performance, as the resulting product shows that to be true. Any attempt to fix the root cause of technical problems was stymied by either by those that worried only about making the burn down charts look good or by the folks responsible for the terrible design in the first place. There were a lot of really great devs there, but they have mostly evaporated. The few remaining will be gone soon enough. Product management was not willing to collaborate with development, just insisting that devs "figure out" their incomplete and conflicting specs, but never being happy with the result. Ultimately, all decisions, technical an organizational were determined by corporate politics.
