Pros

A challenging problem space with a lot of opportunity to develop interesting and complex problems. It is a company filled with great people with good ideas who have a passion for developing software. The compensation is good and competitive. The work life balance is excellent. Telecommuting is welcomed. Hours are flexible.

Cons

Infrequent on-call duty for operational support. Poor knowledge sharing within the company. Outdated platforms and technologies in use. Occasionally, the need arises for late night support work. The operational burden of owning software is a both a plus and a minus for the company.

Pros

Extremely challenging in many regards. Lots of very smart, hard-working and dedicated people. Lots of interesting technology.

Cons

Extremely challenging in many regards. We demand a lot of ourselves and each other. The work/life balance can get out of whack pretty easily.
