Pros

The culture. Our previous CEO Robert Dotson said that his experience from managing volunteer missionaries has really affected his leadership style, and it shows. After all, how do you motivate someone to do something if you can't fire them?

Cons

Unfortunately, more often than not, moving up the ranks and being recognized is more about who you know, rather than what you do. Also, rewards and recognition:participation should be voluntary, not compulsory. Also, if no one fits the bill, don't hand it out. When you hand recognition out on a monthly basis, it becomes lips service and musical chairs, and really feels like it's nothing special.

Pros

Good pay and excellent benefits. Company often seems to sincerely care about its employees.

Cons

Some groups do a very poor job of technical hiring which has resulted in areas of incompetence. This makes it easier to shine if you are competent, but also creates obstacles. Management does not seem to recognize the difference between a strong developer and a weak one and tries to meet scheduling pressures by adding many contractors of questionable ability.
