Pros: + Benefits + Compensation + Time off / Flexibility

Cons: Pretty flat company, so the opportunity to "move up" is limited for those looking to get titles under their belt while company hopping. Personally, this is a positive, but I know it bothers some.

Pros: The company culture is very friendly, but with strong issues to provide visibility about performance.

Cons: The processes not related to writing code are still in development, with no well-defined approach.
