Pros

The atmosphere is sort of fun, and the building is really nice. They hire great people to work with. Lots of swag, free t-shirts, and monthly luncheons are fun.

Cons

Development department management is a joke. Lots of finger-pointing about the problems, very little effective leadership.

I worked overtime often for months to try to improve my performance, but I may as well have not shown up for all that my manager noticed. They only care about surface results and short-term goals being met.

'Long-term' is still a totally foreign concept, and having no longer-term direction is frustrating for someone as ambitious as myself.

Advice to Management

For the development department, get a defined, pre-calculable method for evaluating performance. The 3-month lag on development deliverables is ridiculous.
