Pros
* Has a lot of good contacts with local companies. * Many of the core employees are very good at both technology and mentoring. * Absolutely the place to be if you want to work in Grails.
Cons
* The training practice has withered. * While it used to be a place that attracted the best development talent, the heyday is gone. Much of the top talent has left, and the company hasn't attracted top talent lately. * The founder prides himself on taking care of his top people, but in practice this means that being a favorite of the management family is too important, and that every employee has a slightly different benefits package that depends on the relationship with the management. * The focus on Grails means other web technologies get the shaft.
