Pros

Young, dynamic environment. They take good care of their employees, with interesting technical issues and state-of-the-art technology (using C# though).

Cons

Going through a rough patch now with all the controversy, lawsuits, and unknown future. Grew very fast, so there is now overemphasis on process (will get better over time though). Long hours (problematic if you have kids and family), weekend support during NFL season, and on-call overnight one week a month.

Advice to Management

So far, doing great. Some mistakes were made early on, but that is expected: young management, new domain, had to draw fire. Play down the $mil maker and put more emphasis on people having fun and engaging with sports; go international as soon as possible!
