Best company worked for, period!
Extremely smart colleagues who are also always willing to help. Just ask!
Leadership thinks rationally and focuses on real use cases rather than someone's whims and fancies. At the same time, there is a willingness to stretch the limits of what enterprise software can do. You can literally feel that these folks have a passion to serve the P&C insurance industry.
Work hours are flexible and working from home is okay, but working in the office is so much fun that I cannot think of working from home more than a day a week. Lots of freedom along with accountability.
These folks take software quality very, very seriously. There are code clean-up days organized, and pair programming encouraged. Truly an agile workplace.
You are not only allowed but even encouraged to try out different roles and/or teams, rather than stagnate in the same role for years.
No free lunch like Google/Facebook. This would be a nice addition; however, it is not a deal breaker.
Keep the focus on rationality, but continue to be willing to re-define what "reasonable" means.

The process was good and quick. I talked to recruiters Marissa and Victoria, and within a week, I was onsite for an interview. The onsite scrutiny was more interesting, wherein I was asked to either write or fix code such that tests passed.
