Pros

- Every second Friday off - Good compensation - Great work/life balance - Easy going, personable co-workers

Cons

- Windows based shop (clunky, slow, lots of red tape) - Painfully slow IT department - Design by committee. Politics, vs. results, is the over riding factor - Powerpoint based culture, that's way behind the curve. We do cool stuff, so let's act the part. We need more young people, with fresh ideas. Management / recruiters - it be wise to hire and empower the youth more here. Technology is young at heart.
