Pros

The Products. They are fantastic. Plus it is not a desk job, which is a nice change of pace. There are good oppertunities for growth and a good discount program. Customers are customers so some are great and others are not.

Cons

There are alot of people who work their and it is difficult to get face time with management sometimes.

Pros

The best part of the job is that I interact with so many smart and capable people. Most of them share my passion and enthusiasm for what we do here. The work is challenging, I'm learning something new every day, and I have great career growth prospects. It's the best place that I've ever worked, although it's not without its downsides.

Cons

My work/life balance could be considerably better. Since I'm working on their website, and we have fairly frequent releases, I feel like I'm constantly putting out fires. As a result, the job can be very stressful. Some of the people that I work with are up-tight, so this also adds to the stress.

Pros

The prestige of being with a company that is still out on the cutting edge, someplace that while fresh and exciting also has stability as a company. It may not be like the Wild Wild West days of the Valley at Apple, but it has moved into middle age more gracefully than some other companies have. They've done a good job of not throwing out all the perks as they aim for profitability, and the management team over the last decade seems not to have put a foot wrong in some time - if nothing else, the stock performance alone vouches for the the choices made.

Cons

The biggest problem comes if you're not in a group that is contributing directly to current projects. If you don't have the visibility, if your group is in some more pedestrian area like support or fulfillment, you won't get your share of resources or headcount. If you're not located on the Loop, and you're not turning out new product, be prepared to be an afterthought in the mind of the company at large. It's also extraordinarily difficult to move around within the organization; it almost seems easier to leave and come back than to apply internally for new positions in other groups.
