Pros

1. If you like coffee, there are plenty of choices. 2. Management is generally laid-back.

Cons

1. Combining vacation and sick days into one PTO bucket means people are constantly coming to work sick. You'll catch whatever goes around, guaranteed. 2. Turnover seems pretty high in the software groups. 3. In the software groups you'll hear a lot of Agile methodology buzzwords, but it's really just disorganized waterfall-ish. "Sprints" can span months, for example. 4. Management may be laid-back, but also pretty standoffish by hiding in offices and rarely interacting with the people that report to them, let alone people on teams they don't manage. For example, after well over a year my skip level manager has never spoken to me about anything work-related, not even a "how's it going on your team?" 5. Unusually noisy open office environment. If you need to actually think about what you're doing, good luck. 6. Yeah, we have a parking problem, but putting together a telecommuting policy is too much trouble.

Pros

Colleagues, atmosphere, commute options, high-speed open source environment. Open to cross training, lots of hands on work. Able to take on new opportunities if you can prove you're capable.

Cons

They just laid off 10% of company, benefit adjustments result in more out of pocket cost for employees, a lot of uncertainty

Pros

This was absolutely the best place to work, about 2 years ago. Wonderful people! Dog friendly!

Cons

No growth opportunities exist within the company, and there's substantial lack of support from management. People are siloed so much that multiple people may be working on the same project and would never know it. There's very little organization or project management, and the management that is there tends to be reactive rather than proactive. There's also an unfortunate amount of disrespect between departments. Management may not be aware that they are modelling this behavior for the overwhelmingly young and inexperienced employees.
