Pros

Company is growing, lots of enthusiasm in the market. Still hiring, even in the tough economy. Product team is always innovating - lots of exciting things are announced regularly. Exciting place to work - customers are evangelists, companies eagerly seek to do business with us. Very different from most software companies that are yearning for customers and press attention. Dynamic, fast moving environment. Busier than most companies.

Cons

Innovation means constant change - not all employees can succeed in the environment, it's very demanding. Chaotic environment, less experienced management team. Focus is on growth. Some infrastructure in place but it's not the priority.

Pros

Very high hiring standards mean that everyone is smart, but without alot of overblown egos. Don't have to carry anyone who doesn't pull their own weight. No idea is rejected based on who comes up with it, even junior engineers and summer interns will be heard. The dedication to volunteering and charitable work across the company is great.

Cons

The pace of development and release cycles is very high. Not much downtime. Decisions are sometimes made very quickly and not explained well.

Pros

It's the least political, most functional, software development environment I've encountered. The whole company is focused on the most important factors for success - communication, efficiency, and the customer. The policy of "no sacred cows" applies to all aspects of the business lending to a culture that is always focused on improving both the product and the processes.

Cons

We work hard and we move our desks too often. Environment-wise, I would love a more open studio feel for the designers. Right now we're all stuck in standard cubes, in straight rows. Something more organic and flexible would be more appealing and inspirational.
