Pros

Good ethics, one of the best place to work at. Competitive salary. Although, many workers are very competitive, therefore expects competition among colleagues.

Cons

The fact , that its a very good place to work at, not many employees will leave their current position to open a position for promotion. Therefore, promotions can be hard to come by, thus lower tier employees will definitely need to move to a different company, if desire to move up within their field.

Pros

You get to work on latest technology. Lead architect is great, gives tangible advice. Flexible work schedule depending on the team you work for.

Cons

Basically a Java shop with its own problem like other Web companies that started around early 2000. Technical direction seems to change quite often, I think the company should stick to its gun and follow through in one direction instead of changing it often. Little stingy when it comes to compensation. Lot of attrition due to poor compensation package and lack of job growth mainly.

Pros

Fun product that makes you smile. Nothing evil about personalized gifts.

Cons

Hard to get in full-time from contract. They appoint people internally to positions they know nothing about. It's a way to give them a promotion, but it often upsets the balance. Contractors that are highly qualified stay contractors. Maybe 1:10 make it to become FTE. Also, it's a boys club. There are very few women at the top. The ones that are there are rare or friends of the top guys. Men get promoted over smarter women a lot.
