Pros

Still has the small, personal feel (employee directory is organized by first name) Great opportunity to learn new technologies and techniques Strong user interface is delightful and means great product recognition

Cons

Startup-mode engineering processes mean tremendous development challenges and delivery pressures Heavy contractor labor focus provides frustrating environment for full time engineers and managers (much time spent training contractors on product and testing is lost when their contract ends, so you're constantly in recovery mode) Employee benefit package is marginal Crowded work conditions mean shared cubes, no offices, and conference rooms taken over to house contractors

Pros

Most people are nice and the environment is not as stressful, free fruit, bicycles available for breaks, parties throughout the year, everyone being paid on holidays even contractors (this no longer applies but it was nice while it lasted).

Cons

Lack of communication including upper management and contractors, issues with documents being poorly written, no room for career growth, upper management employees act all high and mighty, continuing to hire more contractors when there is no space, rarely converts contractors to full-time employees.
