Pros

The office environment was great. Between free food and drinks, plenty of individual office space, and good cafeterias with healthy meal choices, it was always a pleasure to come to work. Additionally, the flexibility of wardrobe and working hours made it feel like a real software company.

Cons

It felt like there was a pretty low ceiling for advancement. By and large, it felt as though there was an us versus them attitude between developers and product managers. Mostly, it felt difficult to rise above doing basic development work.

Advice to Management

Hire more product management talent to lead your products forward.
