Pros

Wonderful, friendly and smart people to work with. Small company really works hard to take care of it's employees. Casual work atmosphere. Good work life balance. Developed an amazing media distribution platform for TV news.

Cons

Lack of leadership and narrow minded thinking resulted in complete inability to grow business and bring new customers on board. Not a single new source of revenue retained during duration of employment. Owner repeatedly wanted to fire his most loyal and valuable employees. Poor hiring choices and promotions allowed the 'wrong type of people' to cause problems.

Pros

They use cutting edge technologies--cloud storage, html5, .Net 4.0 etc. If you work here, you will learn a lot about the latest and greatest. They do an excellent job of keeping up to date. Also, they give their developers unprecedented freedom. You are free to make a name for yourself (good or bad) from day 1. That kind of goes along with being in such a small company. Finally, everyone there is incredibly intelligent. If you continuously find yourself smarter than your peers, you'll be delighted that you no longer have to explain base concepts such as timing holes.

Cons

This is a high pressure environment because of two reasons: 1) Everyone is smart. You can't get away on your intelligence or your technical skills. You have to be at the top of your game just to keep up. 2) It's a small company. Everyone sees the fruits of your labor--from your coworker to the CEO to the support staff. Also, you have to be very politically savvy. You have to be able to stand your ground without stepping on toes. This wasn't a problem for me, but it's something that is hard to learn if you don't already know how Finally, their benefits are quite bad: Simple IRA, very expensive healthcare, and a vacation/sick policy from the 80s.
