Pros
TouchBistro offers a great work environment. It doesn't throw a lot of toys and adult jungle gym perks at you. It does offer great challenges, interesting problems to work on, a diverse group of coworkers happy to work with you. It's one of the few places I've ever worked where there's not one single jerk in the lot. Everyone is pretty much treats you with respect and friendship. TouchBistro promotes from within, recognizing talent and putting them in positions of greater responsibility and authority. TouchBistro also recognizes the struggles faced by those with customer facing roles. You won't be left in the trenches. After paying your dues, you'll find there are many paths to move up or shift departments, for example into business development, sales, or marketing. TouchBistro, being a restaurant software company, looks for employees with restaurant/hospitality experience. Did your high school guidance councilor tell you flipping burgers wouldn't get you anywhere in life? He/she was wrong. It doesn't matter what job you apply for at TouchBistro, from a development role to finance, resumes with restaurant experience get bubbled to the top. Lots of free food around too. Be prepared to gain 15 lbs. As of this writing, TouchBistro has a stock option plan. You risk walking away a millionaire, or at least getting a great head start on a good retirement should TouchBistro go public.
Cons
TouchBistro is transitioning from startup to a more traditional corporation. As companies become bigger you start to get silo'd. There's still many chances to get your hands in different pies but a bit less so today. Still, TouchBistro values employees who take ownership. No formal annual review process. It would be nice if you knew there was a formal annual salary review.
