Pros: Opportunity to work on projects from start to finish and have a big impact. The organizational structure is flat, and you are able to create your own solutions to problems and execute on them. Development cycles are short, and you can see the business impact of your work quickly. The business is highly focused on technology, and your ability to deliver quality solutions is valued and rewarded.

Cons: With the opportunity to create high-value work come high expectations. This is not a place where you can sit back, be behind the scenes, and simply punch tickets.

Pros: Good salary, working with some really smart people.

Cons: You may have a lot of pressure, and you may also work with someone that you may not want to work with.

Pros: Comp is very good. Free food is decent.

Cons: No work-life balance (you would work 10-11 hours a day minimum). Constant jokes from peers (and management) of "do or be fired". Interests are very short-term. Failure is not an option. CYA culture everywhere. Zero planning. No transparency from above. Very poor communication when people come and go. One day you are sitting next to someone, the next day they are gone. No notice, no nothing – just like that.
