Pros

Some really great employees. Mostly friendly atmosphere. Flexibility.

Cons

Compensation is severely lacking when judged against the market. Talent and hard work is not rewarded or appreciated except if you're "in" with management. There is no opportunity for advancement, and no promotion from within, unless the company feels they can rip you off. If you're too qualified, too smart or too good at your job, you'll go nowhere. Though, that is good news for people that are unqualified to hold leadership positions, but can speak like they are. A lot of times, it feels like there are a bunch of used car salesmen running this "tech" company. Lack of true leadership, innovation or real direction. Over-emphasis on "Christian family values" makes for awkward situations and is outright annoying at company functions. Employees are largely treated as if they're stupid. Double-speak and slimy dishonesty are rampant throughout company meetings and functions. Meetings feel like going to a Pentecostal church service - there are even prayer sessions. Very cult-like. Emphasis is placed on making the company money, when it should be squarely placed on taking care of its people.

Pros

The company's benefits are generous and it shows they invest in their employees. The culture is very positive, with a very team-oriented goal, but with an ownership mindset.

Cons

Work life balance can be tough. The company growth is so rapid, there's a high volume of work.

They want to know who you are and are genuine in their interactions. CEO's will actively strive to learn your name... so it still has the small company vibe, but it is getting bigger fast.

Cons

Growing pains - Rapid growth and expansion have left some policies in need of polishing/creating. With the rapid growth there is upward mobility that leaves production vacuums behind. Good/Bad - the expansion doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
