Pros

The Seattle office, where most of the mobile developers are located, has a lot of autonomy and is very developer-friendly. The product managers and developers work well together, and the expectations are reasonable.

The people are fun, kind, and smart. Every person will drop what they're doing to help, and it's embedded in the culture. They invest in new employees because they fully intend to bring them in long-term. I can't remember the last time somebody left for another job.

Cons

Can be too "enterprisey", usually in small ways such as unnecessarily strict Wi-Fi settings, the bureaucracy of a strong organizational structure, and features coming down from above.

Advice to Management

You have a good thing going, and it shows in the quality of the product. Loosen up a little.
