Pros

Somewhat flexible work hours and work-from-home policies.

Cons

No job satisfaction. No training. No respect for personal time during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Constant threat of being laid off, resulting in overly competitive, uncooperative co-workers. Common practice of using large email distribution lists when bickering back and forth. Management prefers multi-tasking over listening, until something goes terribly wrong. Very little, if any, opportunities for advancement.

Pros

Corporate culture is nice. They try to keep their employees happy with various perks like monthly company sponsored happy hours, cash awards for work well done, birthday/anniversary notifications/gifts, etc. Senior management sends out annual company wide surveys & actually takes the responses seriously. The company started on the whole hackday trend, which is nice, although they didn't seem to capitalize on many of the great ideas.

Cons

It's a Perl shop. For software developers, there's not a lot of cutting edge technology, our software pretty much sucks in the email marketing realm, there's not strong leadership, there's not a clearly defined path for career growth, we seriously risk falling behind in the email market (our strong suit is customer service, not software!). People are leaving in droves & management is having a very difficult time with retention at this point.
