Pros
Fast paced
Cutting edge
Top of class engineering
Best in the industry
This is quite simply the best company I have ever worked for. The collaboration between database engineers is absolutely incredible. These are among the very best MySQL DBAs in the world. I know that sounds like hyperbole, but work with them as a customer or colleague for any length of time and you will come to understand that these are the best of the best.
If you want to work with the most screamingly bleeding edge topologies, if you are interested in working with the biggest, baddest hardware doing the most concurrent transactions possible...we are talking >20K/TPS real world transactions every day- not work bench generated load for blogs - this is where you need to work.
When customers face the hardest, most complex MySQL issues imaginable, they come to Percona...for a reason.
This is special forces for MySQL. If you can do it, you will be family for life.
Cons
Pay scale is behind the industry. Not far behind, but behind nonetheless.
