Pros

There are a lot of opportunities for growth, and managers are very open to helping their employees develop towards a position they'd like to eventually try out elsewhere in the company. If you get in on a product team, you're set. If you work on a small enough team, your tenure will probably be pretty fun.

Other good things:

  • They allow dogs on the premises.
  • They have good benefits.
  • Their branding colors are a cool blue.
  • There's a decent culture.
Cons

If you're pulled into politics, it's hell. There are some bad apples in upper management positions that have zero respect for the little guys. Also, if you get pulled into IT cube life, it can quickly deaden you.

Advice to Management

Don't be jackasses. Pay more attention to what individuals are doing to contribute. We're not just statistics.
