Pros

Get to work on interesting products with sports and entertainment theme, which keeps it engaging and easy to understand and improve. Lots of great people on the team and opportunities to try new things. Location on Pearl Street in Boulder is central and convenient.

Cons

Product delivery related to key sports event dates mean that deadlines can't really move, which sometimes creates challenges in the development and delivery process.

Pros

There are some pros to working here. The main one being that they work with a wide range of technology. You are given a high level of autonomy to explore new technologies and solve interesting problems.

Cons

The work is only good for someone who is a junior-mid level engineer. After a while it gets stale and you realize that you're just building websites for ill informed customers who aren't in it to make a profit. The data services team is also at times incompetent and unable to see future scalability problems. This forces you to circumvent what would otherwise be a fun API to work with. There is also an overall lack of vision for the company and you will often end up chasing one off solutions to make a quick buck. At times, I was forced to work with technologies that had been chosen for me by upper management that were not a suitable solution for the actual problem they were trying to solve. I also want to note that this company does drug test when they hire. This didn't affect me at all, but being in Colorado and the fact that it's 2016 it just seems ridiculous that they would enforce it.
