Pros

it's a paycheck, useful to get work experience, benefits, free food, free giants game, people doing the work are generally friendly and helpful.

Cons

Lack of integrity, too many manager layers, posturing, politics, too many all hands, forced multi-tasking, very inefficient, lack honesty, lack real leaders, pretend to be Agile, unrealistic scope, poor product management, but some good ones, project managers not respected by product/engineering managers, testers slammed just before code complete, engineering managers say that's how ecommerce works. They don't know how to manage, so resort to command and control - worse than waterfall because there is no change control.

Pros

Good work life balance. Alot of projects to work on. Alot of upside if come from another established tech company. Staff here can learn from experienced technical personnel. This allows you to mold your team.

Cons

Working with Technical staff that shouldn't be in tech. The mentality here is ,its not my job to do that. They use offshore engineering way too much and the people who are hired in office are all friends of family or related in some way. Only 1 type of culture exists here.

Pros

The people. Especially those that have been there a while. Pre-@labs, this place had a supportive and family culture.

Cons

Post-@labs, full of egos and very cutthroat. CTO loves this. Sr. leaders aren't working towards a common goal. They compete against each other for the CTO's favoritism.
