Pros

Great pay and benefits, even straight out of college.

Flexible hours.

Good people.

Interesting and innovative products.

Cons

This isn't a 9 to 5; expect to work around 60 hours per week, at least.

Stack ranking for performance reviews.

Advice to Management

Let's get the table and mobile device market figured out so our stock price will match Apple and Google.

We need to focus on building FAST software rather than full-featured software.

The iPhone and Google Chrome have shown us that faster is better.
