Pros

Being a tech companies, the environment is already a cut-above the average. Even on a bad day, it still feel like we have it "pretty good". Potential for advancement, but not always clear. Internal candidates for new positions definitely don't get any special treatment. Nice office, lots of amenities and lunch is catered in. Super cool to see how few people leave the company, they may change positions, but we're all excited to be with Braintree for a while. Very low average-age, sometimes I find this amusing given the volume of responsibility we have :-P Intelligentsia is their idea of regular coffee, enough said! :-)

Cons

Advancement paths isn't always clear, sometime it feels as though we're quietly encourage to stay in-place just because of a lack of communication. While I get that during the hiring process, internal candidates should be treated equally as external, however I feel that in the initial screening phase, our recruiters should be much more up-front and provide some added updates/insight with internal candidates.

Pros

decent benefits , easy office location

Cons

juvenile senior managers, lack of respect for experience...focus on consensus so no one assumes responsibility, paralysis in pride of a flat org structure that puts no emphasis on training on development of managers

Pros

-Really great and talented people who do care -Lots of opportunity to grow inside of the company -Fair pay and EXCELLENT treatment -Get to work with some of the coolest companies in the tech worlds on a regular basis -Free lunches

Cons

-There is nobody to fall back on but you and your team so don't expect a huge safety net -The learning curve is steep -Dev-centric company which is great but expect to put in some late hours getting up to speed on programming in general -You own the problem from beginning to end so there can be some 2 AM nights
