Pros

The environment, co-workers, office location and general company culture are some pros of working here. There are actually a lot of competent and knowledgeable people on the development and design side.

Cons

Much of the upper management simply don't trust their people. Business decisions are made based on opinions, and likewise, no innovation is going on here. Employees are encouraged to be "open and transparent" and "think outside the box", but it's more of a façade rather than an actual thing that enables us to produce results. From the inside, the company strives to have a more "open" work culture, but it's so nebulous and scattered that job responsibilities are blurred into other areas. When there are no clear boundaries for people to flourish within, all this seems to produce are endless circles of confusion, argument and throwing others under the bus.

Pros

We work in an Agile environment where everyone contributes and has a meaningful voice on the team. I love the Friday, "Coffee Talk" with CEO, Jay Herratti's 30 minute sessions. Through these sessions, I've learned so much about other departments in the company by hearing a cross section of cross-functional team members talk about what they're working on. Enjoy working on tough, interesting projects and new challenges and being recognized personally and with my teammates for our contributions.

Cons

Since the company is such an open work environment and floor plan, its sometimes difficult to find open huddle rooms where several of us can meet and work out problems on white board space since there aren't too many meeting rooms. The days go quickly so I often wish more more time.
