Pros

Flexible work schedule, competitive pay, management that really listens, dev team that encourages learning and participating in big decisions. Ping pong tournaments in the office! Fridge is always stocked with food. Office has great views and is super clean. Over all, this is probably the best job I've ever had. We also do book club on the dev team so we're constantly pushing ourselves to learn and do better.

Cons

There are some differing views on best practices on the dev team - but honestly, I often think that is a good thing. It can make for heated debates though. On the business side, the jobs can be a little stressful with demanding clients - but we're pretty far removed from that on the dev side.

Pros

CitizenNet acts like a start up in a lot of ways, even after they were acquired by Conde Nast (which is a testament to the strength of their current business and long term vision). My primary role is in business development, but they've encouraged me to contribute to the marketing team as it is a career path I'm considering. There is also an incredible culture there. One of my favorite cultural dimensions is around learning. Management has set up weekly Java script trainings that are open to the whole company - even those of us on the business side, they have a budget to help employees get to conferences and trainings that interest them, and they have multiple weekly meetings where folks can share what they've learned or challenges they are facing.

Cons

I love the rec area with table tennis and pool tables. We don't get to use that room as often as I had imagined - maybe we can start to host monthly lunch and learns there or pool/table tennis tournaments! Also, it's so interesting some of the Conde Nast brands sit across the hall. I'd love to learn more about what they do and if we can partner with them in other ways, but not sure how to approach this.
