Pros

Some of the best people I've ever worked with. Worked from home. Very accommodating to schedule needs.

Cons

Company began a downward spiral with the change of upper management. Culture slowly began to change for the worse.

Pros

A great core product with some cutting edge new products in the pipeline. Unique technical challenges. Over the past year or so the company has been changing dramatically in the way it does things, it is faster paced and very focused on solid deliverables. A good blend of great old coders who made Second Life and talented new blood. A lot of the most exciting SL projects are engineering driven such as pathfinding and the solid performance improvements. The new projects are web or tablet based which is very current. The company is morphing into a hot technology company with multiple products rather than a one trick pony.

Cons

Well there is no way to be polite.... like any tech company that has been around for ten years there are a handful of burnt out bitter [ex]employees. You have seen some of their comments below, would you like to work with them? The good news is as you can tell many have left, but some linger on. Avoid them.

Pros

Actually showing discipline and fixing long known usability issues Cleaning up culture focused more on internal process than success in market New team has experience in MMO's and gaming, not just C++

Cons

'Wisdom of the crowds' lack of accountability from founder not fully out of culture yet, but close Not pushing the envelope enough across the company
