Pros

It has some of the best people doing awesome things everyday and pushing the limits of what is possible, the get-it-done atmosphere is greatly appreciated over that of stodgy old corporate cultures

Cons

The company prides itself on being frugal, which is great if you are a stock holder (which I am) but less than optimal when you are an employee. However in the last few months they have begun moving employees to a new campus and filling their buckets with nice perks.

Pros

-Smart co-workers -Good pay/benefits - Interesting projects to work on - Ownership of important processes and reports for entry level - Impressive on resume - Stock (while it is going up) - Good experience - Very innovative company - Team rotations every 1-2 years

Cons

- Long hours - Very high expectations. Very hard to stand out. - Hit or miss middle management - Completely responsible for your own career. Very few formal trainings and development opportunities - Limited promotional opportunities. Company values managers more than analysts and it is very difficult to work your way up to management from analyst (non-MBA) roles.
