Pros

- Nice office space - Free lunches - Good perks (bonuses, gym on site, restaurants in the building, etc.) - Friendly, young atmosphere

Cons

- Absolutely no feedback or reviews. I spent many years there, and my peers & I never once got a performance review. - They grow too quickly & then correct course with layoffs. In 10 years they've gone through three significant rounds of layoffs. - Great talent on engineering/development teams keeps leaving for other companies. - Not family-friendly. - No attention to work-life balance. - Inappropriate, alcohol-fueled parties (they had burlesque dancers at one recently!) - It's a "club" at the top of this company, and if you're not buddies with someone on the senior team, you're not going to get promoted. - Incredible politics. The ideas that happen are the ones that come from the people with the power, NOT the best ideas.

Pros

Endless opportunities for the self-driven and ambitious. I was lucky enough to work under a single manager, David Weinrot, who entrusted me throughout my tenure to drive countless initiatives. He represents, for me, my time with the company. I still carry with me today much of what I learned wearing the many hats he provided access to across the company. Though demanding, he was a great partner in brainstorming new ideas, driving innovation and providing support when needed. This training provided me with the launchpad I needed to, after 5 years, move onto managing an organization with a budget of $120MM that leveraged all of the skills I learned under his direction.

Cons

The company as a whole, while I was there, had a lot going on. I am sure many things have changed since then, though I suspect success will hinge on comfort with agility and change, as with any modern company.
