Pros

Strong engineering culture; tech is the core of the company. Lots of nice, smart, hard-working, and fun employees. Relaxed work environment (e.g. lounge, snacks and drinks, ping pong and foosball), top of the line equipment to work with. People have lots of autonomy and freedom to excel. Company is active in the tech community, and pays for engineers to travel to conferences. Good tradition of being introspective, meaning that problems get addressed directly. The business model is strong; there is lots of revenue, and lots of potential for growth.

Cons

Growing pains -- effective organization and internal communication is a hard problem to solve as the number of employees goes up. As a result some parts of the company are disorganized. New initiatives are sometimes poorly planned or executed (either too much or too little up-front planning, or too much change during development).

Disorganized mess

Pros

Great office location overlooking Madison Park. Frequent splurges on company-wide parties. Unlimited vacation. Company is successful so far because its core business offering is valuable.

Cons

The perks are great, but actually working here can be miserable. There is no project management to speak of, and no guidance or leadership from management. Each day is disorganized chaos, constantly putting out fires and catering to whichever client is complaining the loudest. Engineering has a few smart people, but mostly "hacker" types posing as engineers (CS degree not needed). Very self-congratulatory attitudes when no progress has been made.
