Pros

This is the best company that I have ever worked for in the last 12 years of my development background.

Great benefits package. Work-from-home ability. Getting to work on new projects and new technologies. Kind of sort of Agile methodology with sprint work increments. Work-hard, play-hard culture. Ability to move up the ladder (depending on what you are hired as, title/pay).

Cons

Work-life balance kind of sucks. We are expected to be connected even after hours via our personal phones using Slack.

The open office floor plan makes it very difficult to focus and get any work done.

The projects often change direction, or are completely nixed in the last home stretch. The business changes its mind every 30 seconds (typical).

Projects will change direction abruptly in the home stretch, or be nixed altogether. Tech management planning needs work, but has been getting better.

Advice to Management

Stay transparent with your employees on the status of the company, and hire some project managers.
