A good place to learn, but not so hot for a long-term career

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun products. Young and dynamic corporate culture. Chance to learn Web 2.0 methodologies. Located in sunny Northern California - a great place to live. Free and discounted photo gifts - good if you take lots of photos. Free drinks, cheap snacks.

Cons

Mediocre benefits package - average salaries, weak bonus scheme, and no 401K match. Career advancement plans / goals are left to the employees to figure out. Management does not offer any advice or encouragement in this area, other than "do it yourself".

Pros

Exceptional growth and financial results Dynamic, entrepreneurial pace Smart management team who truly care Great products and brand that customers love Fun, casual and highly engaging environment People are positive and appreciative of each other, and are not afraid to open share it via birthday poems, anniversary toasts etc -- this place has a lot of heart

Cons

The office space/decor can use some sprucing up; for a company that is known for stylish designs, the office leaves much to be desired...
