Pros

As a developer, you get to work on very interesting products using cutting edge technology. 3 weeks vacation to start + they give a week off at Christmas (not guaranteed, but they have always done it since I have been there). Rarely a problem when requesting time off either. They understand people need a break and don't run people into the ground. The work environment is great: Fully equipped gym, foosball and pool table, PS3 with a bunch of games, free coffee, no cubicles (except for tech support). They will help pay for work-related training (including university) and also offer employee referral bonuses.

Cons

Can be a bit difficult to advance if you are looking for the fast track to a management position. Company is transitioning from small to medium size and it no longer has that tight-knit family feel to it.

Pros

Great minds and opportunities to be mentored everywhere for the growing professional. Top Market offering and prestige, high product renown as a seller. Privately held and innovative. Top culture in our industry, and direct line to leadership on marquee deals. CEO and founder who is still highly invovled. Supporting leadership cast that are highly engaged.

Cons

Re-orgs have affected team unity but leadership vision is all about culture, transformation and growth.
