Pros

Nice employees, experts in their field Decent benefits Start-up culture means lots of room to make recommendations for improvement

Cons

My workload was insane. Not enough staff for the pressures of going public. "Unlimited vacation" was a joke. I took far less time off under this plan. Very unstable environment

Pros

Telecommuting and great people in every office except mine (which is why I telecommute).

Cons

Since the IPO, the company has a single-minded focus on revenue, which leads to cuts in support staff, expanding through acquisitions with no additional resources added to handle addition workload, and a higher turnover rate than before the IPO. Have been ordered to do unethical things. Across 20+ brands, the company only cares about 3 of them (if you work for one of them, then you are lucky).
