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
