Pros

Great corporate culture. The people are nice and very smart. The benefits are generous. There are a lot of fun company outings. And the company is about to IPO.

Cons

Many senior managers lack basic people management skills. Projects are disorganized and often cancelled. The technology group is located 3 hours away from the business group, which sometimes makes it difficult to get things done.

Pros

Big complex site (almost too big for itself) Fun co-workers (as long as they are underlings) Name recognition for your next job

Cons

No work/play balance Developers don't care about after-hours or fixing problems Terrible management gets hired and promoted Executives are out of touch with the people who work for them except for 1 You will never be heard by anyone that matters Lost the startup feel years ago
