Pros

The front end architecture is excellent, and the teams working on internal initiatives like that are great. You can learn a lot from the other engineers here and grow your skills. Senior management was good, middle management was hit-or-miss.

Cons

At least while I was there, project management was terrible at times. I routinely worked 60+ hour weeks to get things done on time. When we had months-long crunch times, some management folks couldn't understand where bugs came from! The week I gave my notice, we were just told we'd need to work every Saturday for the next month.

Pros

Loved working with my team and the pace is fast enough to keep things interesting, but slow enough to not lose your mind as a dev.

Cons

Despite the full day meetings every quarter, really nothing bad at all.

Pros

The company is strong on technical savvy and developing it in its employees. If your goal is to develop tech savvy and be respected for it, they will pay for training and certifications to develop it. They also have a "Demo Day" twice a year, for internal developers to showcase the new technology initiatives (IP) that they are developing. They develop some pretty forward looking IP.

Cons

For all the emphasis that they put on technology and hard skills, they don't do the same with communication and soft skills. Management and leadership easily comes down to treating employees like children rather than adults, which stifles personal initiative.
