      Pros

      Leading edge technology Smart, motivated employees Healthy, very-rapid growth in business Great customer service ethic Positioned very well for future expansion Sound strategy

      Cons

      Pressure cooker, working environment is very stressful Lots of ninja fixes, patches, nannies, workarounds, and hacks ("spit and baling wire") On-call 24X7 for almost everyone in software development and management Rapid organizational changes and reorganizations are common Very political environment, everyone is consolidating power or protecting turf Many generations of software in various stages of "decay" with deteriorating support Organizational and institutional entropy is continuous

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
