Pros

Collaborative atmosphere, with friendly people who generally enjoy their work.

Small teams that have flexibility in what they do.

People care about good code and software.

Really good pay.

Flexible hours (unlimited vacations).

Food catered to work every day.

Opportunities to work in many areas of engineering.

Cons

'Work hard, play hard' attitude is sometimes taken too far. There is really never much pressure to do anything.

If you are a competitive person who wants to move up, you might get frustrated with how things go here.

Advice to Management

Reward those who stick their necks out a bit more.
