Pros
While certain departments/individuals may be overloaded, overall work-life balance is good, judging by the fact that the lot is pretty much empty at 5:15. It's not the kind of place where someone's watching what time walk in or walk out. While there's no flex-time policy per se, I've never had any issues when I've had to telecommute for one reason or another. Probably depends on the manager and type of work. Benefits are decent. It's a profitable company, and they're generous with things like company picnic, Christmas lunch, etc. And you get to wear jeans on Friday!
Cons
Cons is a long list: - Employee on-boarding is very weak. If this is your first job out of college, tough luck. - Matrixed environment, yet it's not a large enough company to warrant this type of structure. Top heavy. Tension among matrixed individuals. - Leadership quality is mixed. Some great leaders, but a number who are highly ineffective (too tactical, green, etc). - Sales and engineering driven organization. Marketing is really just project management of pushing out features. If you are mechanically inclined but not science-y enough to become an Engineer, like marketing but don't possess any classical marketing skills, they have a marketing job for you! - Culture stuck in the 90s. The all gray, natural-light free 5 feet tall walled cube world should be heeded as a warning sign of the equally passé culture contained within. It's quiet, serious, and decidedly un-hip. Old-fashioned career progression approach ("gotta be in the role X years no matter how effective you are" type of thinking) - Morale is generally low; I would easily bet that 50% of my close colleagues are not happy, either actively looking, or sticking with it for the bennies, or because like me they're the primary bread winner with a stay at home wife and kids.
