Pros

At IA, you have the opportunity to be a rock star! It is a flat organization and people are encouraged to do what they do best, but also stretch to be more and do more and learn from each other. There is a tremendous sense of support and camaraderie. If you are in over your head, say so! There is always help available. The culture is unique, fun and quirky... we have done everything from celebrating Tiara Tuesdays to dressing up for Halloween, to participating in a breast cancer run. The leaders truly care about the employees and work/life balance is expected and encouraged.

Cons

If you are a superstar at your current job and want to come work for IA, you better plan for some change. The folks at IA are all so talented. You can come in thinking you are "all that" and quickly realize you are surrounded by people that are smarter, faster and better than you. There is simply a great deal of talent at IA. People will help you get there, but you have to be willing to jump in and learn.

Pros

Smart people, lots of talent. "Drive your own destiny" sort of culture.

Cons

Heavily matrixed, so no real path to move up in terms of title. Raises seem fairly arbitrary. While I always received one, I never knew why it was higher one year or less the next.

Pros

IA is loaded with technology superstars. SME's, MVP's, Senior level people in every area. Atmosphere is flexible and unique with no bureaucratic BS to deal with. The organization is almost completely flat and unstructured. Clients come calling, IA answers, and teams are put together based on the skills needed. Salary is above market and benefits are excellent for a smaller organization.

Cons

From my perspective, the only con is the lack of matching 401K. There are, however, other things you should know if you're consider working at IA: 1. If you like structure, a clear path to advancement, or regular HR Performance Reviews -- you won't find that here. 2. If you're comfortable clocking in and out at specific times each day -- you won't find that here. 3. If you like having a cubicle of your very own to decorate with kid/cat photos -- you won't find that here.
