It's an energetic place, with lots of good people, interesting work, and interesting challenges. As a programmer, it's got a very interesting problem set to work on, and an interesting set of requirements to design to. This allows us to make a product that is so customizable by our customers, open where we want them to modify it, and closed where we don't.

They live up to the Agile/SCRUM methodology – a sustainable work pace that doesn't have me killing myself every release or abandoning my family, nor does it leave me bored. It's a very cool, collaborative type of environment. I'd worked in offices before, and being able to talk to and listen to my coworkers more easily is a nice change.

I've been a programmer for 20 years, and this is my favorite work environment. I get to get things done, build cool stuff, have a life, and work with interesting people. When I hit a trouble point, people here help. I can ask my coworkers or my boss at any moment and get pointed in the right direction.

If you want an office, it's cubicles. Personally, now that I've done it, I like it (I never thought I would – too many negative stereotypes of cubicles). The interaction, the ability to just toss a question to a coworker, is well worth it. No walls, so you can easily talk.

No food in walking distance. There are food trucks and a sandwich place that brings food in – that I do miss; I used to work in an office with more choices. We've got a free Friday lunch that is often good, and it's something, but I miss walking to my local Chinese or Mexican in the area.
