Pros

This place and these people (ones who are still here and others who have moved on to new adventures) are family. They've supported me, given me opportunities to grow, give me straight talk, laugh along with me, and love me and my family. A couple have become my dearest and closest friends whose impact on me and my love for them is immeasurable and lifelong. Oh yeah - and we do awesome work :)

Cons

There's always challenges in any business whether it's market shifts or technology changes. My recommendation to anyone in any company is to take any concerns you have, propose a plan for making things better, and elevate them up. In my 8 years here I've always seen that be a positive path for any challenging situations.

Pros

Many years I have worked in this industry and the terms CTO and CIO have never meant anything other than "a person that managers technical directors". In this company, not only are C-level executives programmers but so are many of the Managers and Directors. Got a code or product question? Post it on the intranet and anyone from an Engineer to the CEO could reply (without the "you didn't know that?" attitude). Compassion for a true work-life balance, working with teams that I can learn from and assist new people during their onboarding, it all comes full circle here. Health care costs rose and the CEO deflected the cost for us. Many other mini-perks too, but the best is being part of the fastest growing technology that reaches people daily. Have something you think may improve the product? Recommend it. Your idea may be rolled in to the next release. Thinking outside the box is a desirable trait. I would recommend working here and more importantly, when people ask if I would recommend them for a job here, I think twice whether they would be a good fit. People here are that awesome.

Cons

With so many teams working very hard, getting together for cross-training is difficult. Enhance skills of current employees not only with external training, but internal cross-training.
