Pros

The people at Sponge are awesome: supportive, intelligent, lots to learn from. The atmosphere is generally good: there's very little blame-shifting and a lot of mentoring for everyone who is eager to better themselves. Peer-to-peer collaboration is excellent.

Cons

Some of the management are severely lacking in education and even literacy. They are also the ones who tell you "it's not my job to [insert action here]". Lots of talkers and very few doers among the leadership. Getting rid of people who have been there long term and who know the business best. I've taken a look and they are currently recruiting 4 (four!) people for the job I was doing on my own.
