Pros

If you count clueless management who can let you get away with anything as a "pro", well ok that's one "Pro" I can think of.

Cons

Since PBs takeover of the company, it has managed to totally and utterly destroy the great growth Borderfree was seeing over its short life span. Joined the company back when it was FiftyOne and Borderfree really had a great potential and was a leader in its space by a wide margin but PB squandered it away and also managed to alienate all the top talent. What now remains is clueless PB people who do not understand, technology, ecommerce or management for that matter.

Pros

Great co-workers in fantastic teams. Compensation is competitive (read very good) and benefits are mediocre, but getting there slowly (in the past few months they've added more benefits and pluses). Management in the R&D department is very straightforward and highly transparent about plans and specs. The entire R&D department is broken up into teams with very fun names (chosen by the team members). Each team consists of a lead engineer, a QA engineer and 2 or 3 software engineers. Promotions are done on a yearly basis: you set goals at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year, you meet with your manager to discuss whether you've met those goals or not. After that, you are possibly granted raises, bonuses, etc. Overall, everyone is very friendly. There's a kitchen on each floor, and leadership is very friendly (to the point where upper management knows most employees on a first name basis).

Cons

The company feels a bit top heavy at times.
