Pros

Most people are easy to work with. Rarely have to work over time Some time the work is very challenge.

Things are disfunctional, but pretty weird

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Developers get lots of ownership over your features. Stock options and compensation have been very competitive so far. On the whole, people are friendly.

Cons

Corporate culture is bizarre to say the least. Lack of communication is pervasive between teams, individuals, and from management to employees.
