Pros

Plaxo has a startup culture inside a big company. People like to build products quickly that get used by lots of people.

Cons

not a true startup, so no more promises of millions to be made when the company goes IPO or gets acquired

Pros

- smart, fun people - great environment - strong support of work/life balance - free cable - startup-esque environment with big company backing - truly open-door management team

Cons

- 5+ year old product (and therefore codebase) makes up core offering - incredibly negative consumer reviews of product make even NEW releases an uphill battle - interfacing with Comcast, when required, can be difficult - upper management team relatively inexperienced; flip strategic direction often based on incomplete information - general lack of accountability for poor performers
