Pros

-Great work-life balance. -Wonderful people. -They have been increasing flexibility. -Positive work place. -Strong, secure company to work for. -They give the 2nd half of Fridays as personal development time to study or work on your own projects. -They allow and pay for you to go to conferences every year (without taking time off). -Teams mostly set their own goals each sprint instead of being given deadlines. -Teams are not micro-managed by managers, but are self lead. -Nice yearly bonus come January. -Never been asked to work any overtime. -Decent free coffee machine, cakes every month, frequent snacks, frequent celebrations, frequent free T-shirts, etc... -Yearly picnic and yearly employee appreciation party. -Always something exciting to work on. -Growing in their products and offerings. -Great benefits. -An hour-and-twenty-minute lunch with two 20 minute breaks during the day. -Take off for doctors, appointments, etc. as needed without losing time off. -Carfax looks good on your resume. -Overall great place to spend your day.

Cons

-Every year I have worked there the culture and enjoyment has been going downhill. -Overall salary is lower than average (however, the work environment more than makes up for it). -You have to work on a cumbersome, problematic, home-brew infrastructure that eats in on your work instead of allowing you to focus on your job. -They serve pizza or fried chicken for half of their Friday lunches. (Maybe a pro for you.) -MO workers seem slightly like 2nd rate employees in the company. -Overly expensive vendor machines in the office. -Poor decisions are frequently made on the basis of third-party software salesman. -They seem to prefer to hire contractors and fresh college grads instead of caring about employee retention. (Keep in mind no place is perfect or can keep 100% of people happy, Carfax is a great place to work.)
