Direct supervisor is awesome...upper senior management could use some help.

Associate project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

This particular office likes to work hard and likes to party hard. My direct superior is great! I couldn't ask for a better boss and he is very flexible with everyone and only expects everyone to get their work done & isn't anal about when someone starts work or leaves.

Cons

Some senior management could use some help in the honesty department & compensating their employees better.

Improving but still has ways to go before becoming a good place to work at

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

One gets to experience incredible pressure and real-world problems when faced with a site that gets tens of millions of hits each day.

Cons

Constant firefights leave little room or time for self education. Poor management, processes and missing or lacking documentation make it a very stressful place to be in. Management communication skills can be laughable at times and despite some very smart people the inability to share knowledge coherently with co-workers can be a huge let down.

Pros

Get to work on leading edge projects that are very different than the run of the mill web projects.

Cons

Sometimes there are just too many things to do which is a good problem, but still a problem.
