Is this your company?

Pros

- Upper management are friendly - Stocked beer and drinks - Easy work and life balance (since the company is not growing)

Cons

- No career growth (the only way a career grows is if the company is doing well and growing.) - The most employee turnover due to quitting I've ever seen - Can't attract or retain top engineers (as well as other departments), which is why they are always reactive in competing with Mail Chimp and Constant contact. - Small company so gossip spreads fast - Benefits downgraded after being acquired from a multi-billion corporation. Holiday and PTO is below average. - No bonuses

Pros

Most of the employees were nice, interesting, talented people who were a joy to work with. The neighborhood is cool and company events were generally enjoyable.

Cons

Upper management is completely clueless and did not appear to have even a basic grasp of the company's purpose / vision even after being in charge for years. It's questionable as to why a company with 100 employees needs to have C-Level, VP Level and Director level management. How many layers do you possibly need between the CEO and a department of nine people? The result of all these layers of management is meeting after meeting after meeting. I spent at least 20 hours a week in meetings (this was not abnormal for any employee) as this made management feel like they were busy doing something. If you look at this site, you'll see there are 18 positions currently available. This is not because the company is rapidly growing. It's because roughly 50% of the staff quit since the beginning of 2010 and are continually needing to be replaced (in some cases, individual positions have had to be replaced multiple times). Losing half your staff -- many of whom, like myself, worked there for years and years -- is devastating. Yet management has changed nothing.
