Pros

Paid fairly well in the area and promotes good culture. The people here are relatively nice. The company also recognizes the need for internal innovation. If you're driven there's room for you to move up.

Cons

Still has remnants of offshoring/contracting culture. Tech people have less visibility. Additionally, unless you push yourself, this job alone will not be too rigorous. I often have to work with less capable and effectively tenured employees

Pros

Decent salary and technologies that they work on seemed to be cutting edge. Also the training provided seemed to be decent also. The people in the office were fine too.

Cons

Biggest con is the open office, no cubicle environment. Wonder how people can get anything and also retain their sanity in this sort of workplace

Pros

+ A great salary, benefits package, and bonus. + A good learning opportunity. You'll be challenged to learn a lot, fast. + A distributed team ( most team members telecommuted 100% ). + Smart, professional co-workers with a sense of humor. + A not-so-messy Perl codebase with lots of tests. + A mature Agile process, which helps teams functional well. + Emphasis on documentation, so there are written procedures for doing some complex tasks. + New initiative to automate as much as possible ( example: minimal manual QA ). + Lunch-and-Learn sessions, in which a speaker gives a presentation during lunch.

Cons

- Too many communication tools ( email, multiple flavors of IM, multiple ways of doing voice chat, video conferencing, screen shares, and pair programming, message boards, wiki, Slack, etc. ), which sometimes cause communication to go haywire.
