Pros

Wednesday breakfasts, Friday cookies, team outings, company outings, bright coworkers, opportunities to learn, casual culture, 6-month release cycle.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly. Because of this, many projects and problems overlap across teams, and I have seen competition between teams to solve problems rather than cooperation amongst them. The only other (minor) negative is location.

Advice to Management

Beware of pushing out products/functionality too fast. Stick to your deadlines so that the product is thoroughly vetted when it goes out the door. New products/shipments invariably go over these deadlines. Perhaps make a policy to disallow features in the release immediately following the shipping release of a product. Also, consider starting an office in the Rockies. Boulder, anyone?
