Pros

Energy, expanding business, good direction, challenging projects, some cool technologies, lots of areas to make a contribution, evolving APIs, solid back-end components, great coworkers, different approaches to projects, mostly Microsoft stack, some pretty neat side benefits like:

  • 2-3 lunches per week
  • Snacks
  • Drinks
  • Kegs
  • Occasional group outings
Cons

Trust in the team sometimes vanishes when the stakes and risks elevate.

Pay raises are abysmal or just don't exist.

The company has been pre-IPO for what seems like an eternity; you'll tire telling your friends.

I sometimes hear more inter-departmental feuding than I'd care for; it feels unprofessional.

Advice to Management

Eliminate some of the unnecessary levels of management. It still feels way too thick. It is nice that many management positions are ones where rolling up the sleeves to get dirty is required.
