Pros

Flexibility in working from home. Culture without many strict policies which provides the opportunity to be creative in solving customer needs. Working for a company that is willing to spend money building infrastructure.

Cons

Too many good people let go or decided to leave. 25 year old MBAs who have less experience in how the industry works have replaced seasoned telecom veterans with disasterous effects. Every department running a skeleton crew leads to horrible customer service and responsiveness.

Pros

It was better than unemployment.

Cons

Long hours, brutal politics and a total lack of direction. There was little to no value placed on seasoned professionals and the contributions they could have made should anyone decided to listen. All of that coupled with a blind following of the culture made this a very unpleasant experience.

Pros

Fast paced, opportunities for advancement for hard workers, a transparent atmosphere where the execs are open about plans, fast growing company on the rise

Cons

I don't think it's really a con, unless you're against working hard, but there are some very busy times
