Pros: Good benefit like free massage every week from the health insurance, 20 days vacation, free classes after work, and free snacks. Smart persons.

Cons: Old technology, messy legacy code. The restrooms are just not enough on many floors. There is no software engineering, but only code writers. Some developers are not from CS majors and write really bad code.

Pros: One of the major pros is that you get to own projects, regardless of whether you are considered 'management'. That certainly makes things exciting.

Cons: Almost all the focus is on getting stuff out there 'fast!' Good coding style and good software design aren't as important. While that may work in the short run, in the long run it causes a lot of headaches in terms of software maintenance. But the management doesn't care about that. They just want you to churn more software out, as fast as you can. And of course, there is nothing called 'testing'. It's the developer's job, of course. And you still have to get things out there 'in time'.

Pros: Fast-paced environment. Quick time to market.

Cons: Work from home is not really a viable option.
