Pros
Working at Pattern is kind of like joining that start up that you've always been looking for (if you're into the whole start up culture and work environment). I've worked at a lot, as have most of the people in the company. There's a real advantage to that - from respecting peoples space and talents to truly valuing the contribution of each player. The team is comprised of some of the smartest engineers I've ever met. The services they offer are genuinely impressive to the clients we work with and for once (in terms of a start ups products / services) everything just seems to work. They've also got some of the most advanced technology coming out with a very promising early results. The company is probably going places. Culture is great - you do what you need to get done and no one bothers you. Company meetings are awesome and occasionally we all go out to dinner to celebrate recent success.
Cons
Theres been another review that has touched on this, but its tough to put it under a con - I certainly don't think it is, but to many it maybe so I'll put it under here. Some people don't operate well with the complete autonomy you have here. You have to be self motivated and reliant or you wont succeed. Theres pressure to succeed as everyone relies on each other. Don't have enough sales for one contracts are up? It's possible an engineer is being let go. Like, next week. Its also totally possible for an engineer to tank a contract (I haven't seen it) but, again its possible, and it could have massive impacts on other individuals. It's honestly the trade off of actually having a meaningful contribution to a company.

Pros
You get to work in a positive environment where everyone is friendly, helpful, and fun. The company deals with a variety of clients, and there are a lot of opportunities to collaborate and receive feedback from peers, who are professional, smart, and passionate in what they do. Senior management is open to your ideas and upward momentum in developing your career is encouraged. Flexible work hours. Work is never stale since each of us work with new clients as we complete numerous projects. As long as client projects have been completed, there are unlimited PTO days, which is very rare in contract companies. Wonderful product. PatternSpace is an amazing product well ahead of the competition and constantly improving. You get to work on the product with a hard-working and intelligent team.
Cons
Many expectations and work to finish (which is also a good thing). Since most of the employees are on-site with clients, it's hard to interact with your coworkers in person. We use Slack, ScreenHero, Google Hangout, and etc. to communicate, but there isn't an actual office space yet.
