Pros

Great customer-centric culture, leadership that's doing everything right, investing in & achieving huge growth, and taking over the world. I've been here for 2 years and, for the first time in my life, am not planning my next career move; I'm here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Cons

There are growing pains (impossible to avoid when your company is doubling in size year over year for 10+ years), but all things considered, those pains are handled very well. The extremely competent team is doing their best.

Advice to Management

For team/mid-managers in development: embrace Scrum! Drive it home, hard. Not all dev team managers are fully on board, and without full buy-in, the effectiveness diminishes.

Be more generous with annual compensation adjustments. I've been disappointed at both of my annual reviews/compensation adjustments. I was reviewed well, but the compensation adjustment didn't meet my expectations. Once my initial stock award stops vesting (5th year), I'll be earning less than I did in my 1st year. You're lucky I love this place... :)
