Pros

- Money - once you have 2 years in, the salary plus stock is very competative - High visibility product - Technology focused - Smart people - Freedom to make technological decisions (i.e. not centrally mandated) - good performance review process -- highly based on peer feedback

Cons

- promotion is difficult past a certain point -- very few job levels - many engineers young and arrogant -- it is a culture of arrogance - poor communiation of company direction or vision - most employees will not feel valued by their senior management - no perks. Frugality means no t-shirts, free pop, or even subsidy of the cafes. Bare bones work environment.
