Pros

Great, intelligent people to work with.

Decent work-life balance (nice to have a gym on campus, etc.).

The company feels "young," which is nice for new graduates.

Cons
  • Low pay (we shouldn't have to rely on a stakeholder bonus to get a halfway decent salary)
  • Management is in general pretty awful
  • Too much emphasis on procedures and bureaucracy
  • Difficult to get promoted (not based on merit – my manager even told me I just haven't been here long enough)
Advice to Management

Stop micromanaging your team. Give people more flexibility in their hours. Understand the work that your team is doing before making unreasonable demands.
