Pros: Free breakfast and lunch (and dinner, if you decide to bring home a little something). Gym inside building, dry cleaning services. If you're a technologist, you're given a lot of freedom with regards to project development. Managers generally recognize when an employee has done good work. Casual dress code everyday, even more relaxed on fridays in the summer. While advancement within the company is generally not available, career advancement overall is definitely possible since great responsibilities are placed upon individual developers. Performance-based bonuses for technologists (although the market can also influence the overall bonus).

Cons: One downside is that the market itself can affect any performance bonuses. A trade gone bad in one division can lead to employees in another division getting their bonuses cut.

Pros: The people were nice. It was a smart crowd. There was free food. The bonuses were okay.

Cons: There are limited vacation days and a butt in chair mentality.

Pros: Market level compensation, food on premises

Cons: Bad line management, no career opportunities
