Pros

Good company culture - they try to care about you. Number of ways to learn: online trainings, Safari ebooks.

Cons

If you're not on the business side and/or in NY/LN, your chances to grow or to get promoted are ±0.

The working environment is also from a previous paradigm:

  • Open office
  • Cheapest desktop: Might be cheap on paper, but inflexible compared to a laptop. It creates a number of problems (the need for videoconference rooms, difficulty retreating to a silent corner to work).
  • MS Windows + Office + Skype in a one-size-fits-all manner - even these are rather in the way of making meaningful work.
Advice to Management

Listen to your employees, especially when they complain about working conditions.

Or, read the "Peopleware" book carefully.
