      Every day is an eye-opening experience where I am consistently learning and growing.

      Pros

      Obviously, the culture/atmosphere is the best that I've run into so far. I've done the startup thing where having beers at noon is supposed to be an incentive. I'm glad that Spiceworks isn't trying to be cool - they're being themselves and treating people like people. The collaborative atmosphere and overall "team" mentality is really rare to find - and completely refreshing.

      Cons

      I don't know if I see any yet (going on one year). One thing that I've noticed is that across departments, some teams are working on projects that another team is expert in - yet the project team doesn't consult the expert team. Seems like there is a bit of disconnect in that area.

      Cons

      - A very young workforce that doesn't necessarily have a lot of real-world experience - A fair amount of chaos from rapid growth

      Pros

      Very wide-open sharing of all kinds of information at all levels. Relaxed, mature, attitude towards processes: the only that matters is progress. A corollary is the encouragement for everybody to make mistakes: fail fast in order to fail cheap and to move forward sooner. Beer on Friday! Food on several days of the week. Commercial-grade espresso machine! Explicit effort to broadcast and perpetuate company's culture, for example: two-day "orientation" for new employees, also attended periodically by current employees; every candidate is vetted by the highest levels of the company.

      Cons

      None, nada, zilch, zero, rien!
