Pros

I like the work because I get to use my talent and my managers and co-worker are smart, hard-working and care. The software serves an industry with challenging, diverse needs. The solution created uses the latest technology standards and I am surprised at how powerful it is. My job of solving problems is a lot more fun with the software tools they give me. Most people do work pretty hard. On my team, we average 44 hours a week which includes occasional periods where we have to work more to help a client. I am most impressed by the authenticity of the employees. They really mean and do what they say. They really are friends and care. For example, there was an employee on another team who started having some health issues and could not work his full schedule. His manager changed his position to part-time so he could keep his job even though he did not have enough leave time. I am constantly asked my opinion on how to do the work and some of my ideas get implemented. Most teams seem to create several new improvement ideas every week. Anonymous employee engagement surveys put the level of engagement in the top quarter of all employers. Office politics are non-existent. Negative people find an exit quickly and become Glassdoor reviewers.

Cons

As with every workplace, there are always little annoyances here and there. I wish the hiring process would improve. You can often tell within a week or so that someone just doesn’t fit. I wish we never worked with the misfits. For example, in a recent departure, a coworker was fired after just a few months for sleeping at his desk and then was angry about getting let go. Really? We should be able to screen out more mistakes.

Pros

Strong culture of growth; deep sense of team; lots of interesting, creative, funny people; flexible scheduling; casual dress code; downtown office; VPN available when needed; ability to try different roles; promoting from within is preferred; focus on strengths, not weaknesses; friends and family are welcome at the many company-sponsored activities; manage our own time; attitude and aptitude often trump knowledge and experience; it's okay to not know everything; hourly and salaried positions; cash incentives for quick, accurate work; management is approachable and responsive; Friday Breakfast Club; gym access; suggesting areas for improvement is encouraged; free hot beverages; very supportive colleagues and coworkers; lots of smiles and laughter; strong focus on clear, effective communication, including active listening; ideas are encouraged and met with enthusiasm; successes are celebrated; culturally diverse workforce; snack while you work; wander around and stretch or chat when you need a break; lots of nearby places to eat... There's probably more perks, but I think you get the idea.

Cons

Training focuses on a dive-in method, but does not provide a solid foundation from which to jump. Benefits are a bit behind industry standard. No cold beverages such as Red Bull, Gatorade, V8, or fruit juices.
