Pros: Generally, the pay is good. The office has decent perks.

Cons: No real culture. Product is somewhat stale and growth is slowing. A lot of "yes" men/women in leadership positions. No diversity focus at all. CEO continually makes huge mistakes and doesn't own up to them. Most of his company speaks hinges on "historical context" of when he was an engineer (if I hear about how he was right for not building a "Flash" version, I am going to lose it). CEO and a lot of leadership are super involved in technical decisions, and most often are wrong about them. Challenging management will get you pushed out. No trust. Even the smallest conference or expense needs to be approved and scrutinized by your VP. RTO killed all trust.

Pros: They give you good bonus pay.

Cons: Not a lot of good people.

Pros: Passionate employees and a positive business outlook. Most of the interesting problems one might solve as an engineer here are still up for grabs. Personal initiative to snag that one cool project is rewarded, and I feel my manager and director are investing heavily in my career success. CEO and VPs are very open to company-scale feedback, and even as a relatively new person, my input has been taken seriously and often acted on immediately. I've been able to have a major effect on the company's direction. It has been a great place to get my career started.

Cons: We're growing as a company, and the organizational changes keep you on your toes. What was once tribal knowledge among tens of devs has had to be taught to hundreds.
