Pros

Great, stable company. They absolutely put the customer first. Really smart people work here, and everyone seems to have that "of course we can!" attitude.

Cons

One word: Frugality. It's one of the core tenets here. Which in and of itself is not bad. However, it means that some benefits you'll get at other technology companies, you won't get here. Vacation time is much less than other places I've worked. Also, there is nothing free here, except really nasty coffee and water. In the technology field, it is a rather spartan style.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
