Pros

- Unmatched talent: cream of the crop here and lots of people to learn from - Strong tech culture: embraces new technology and is very supportive of the tech side of the business (hack weeks, tech committees) - Generous tuition reimbursement - Vacation and sick time is the best of any place I've been - Good work/life balance

Cons

- Strong talent sometimes translates into big egos: people can be less open to ideas and are adamant about having things their way - Politics between departments made it difficult to do the job - Strong female leadership exists in the company but cannot be seen at the executive level

Pros

Exciting work on ground-breaking projects; great people/team members; opportunity to lead front-end development efforts on the marketing/brand side; nice position to leverage technical expertise on high-profile projects.

Cons

Not a lot of understanding of technical processes on marketing/brand side, created situations where constant education of the team was fundamental to moving development project along; pay is on the lower side; production and dev ops needed much improvement; communication with core development team was non-existent.
