Pros

New Technology, Good People, flexible work environment(tele-commute, dress, hours).

Cons

very poor HR department, very poor pay raises, focus on executive compensation over worker-bee compensation. This company's strategy is "growth by acquisition". They do not invest in on-going operations. They have annual layoffs and appear to be moving to an 60% or greater off-shore employment strategy. The CEO is a micro manager and still seems to think he is leading a startup company. They freeze business travel every year, but the CEO still flies on chartered jets and uses private drivers. This is a burn out shop, so be prepared for the expectation of 10+ hour days plus weekend work.
