Pros

New York City. Great pay, and great benefits. 4 weeks of vacation time. Exposure to more than just plain old software. Free food (somewhat). Some great people work there (as well as some not so great).

Cons

4 weeks of vacation, but working 12 hours on one day and 7 hours on another isn't enough (8 and 8 works though). Not enough feedback from management. Business/sales people are often responsible for big decisions. They don't have any sense of what kind of resources a project will take. People working here for 10 years are doing the exact same thing as recent university graduates. The work environment sucks with just lines of desks and no vision/noise blocking devices; if you sit next to a manager, expect to have conversations/debates going on at all times. If you sit next to one of the projectors broadcasting announcements on the wall, expect to be distracted by flashing text every 5 minutes. Antiquated system architecture, and frequently broken development tools. Free food is good, but it's all chips, candy, and sodas, with few healthy options.

Pros

Snacks, good time off, no fixed ill days, good training program, no formals wear required like some other companies,inception of new technology.

Cons

bad management, dont even give you your own cubicle, overhyped company which tries to be glamourous on the outside, but void inside, old software, over worked people, low wage hikes, hostile to immigrants, biased performance reviews, over all a closed system where people either cover their a$$ or bully people around to get ahead. Some teams are innovative, however most are doing what they were for a long long time...overall unreasonable people...
