Pros

There are some really talented people in the Director, Sr. Manager roles. Some days of work are normal and business is doing well (online retail that is).

Cons

Executives are poor leaders. After firing the CFO, CMO, and many key non-c-suite leaders, there is little chance this organization is poised for growth. People are fired all the time with no explanation and often there role is taken over by the person that fired them. The constant struggle for power among the execs leaves everyone at risk of being collateral damage. You can find a better job elsewhere.

Pros

The work life balance is great and the pay is decent. Very few teams work more than 40 hours a week. Schedules are very flexible and the time of day you show up for work is basically left to your own discretion. If a project date is slipping almost always project features get cut or the date gets extended with overtime very rarely considered a recovery option. Recent changes are providing opportunity for advancement and existing employees are being considered first for those positions.

Cons

Their non-compete agreement is ridiculous. Get a copy of it before you entertain an offer. Team leads are given the late night on call responsibilities. Nepotism and cronyism in the company is rampant. Despite management saying they hate politics, politics are prevalent, nurtured, and only growing in importance. A sideways look, a word thought to be disrespectful, or bringing up concerns about the group think strategy of the day are quite literally fireable offenses. Critical thinking and good project execution seem a distant second to getting along. Accountability appears to flow only one way. The practice of hiring from within and cronyism has led to several in positions of authority who from my perspective perform their responsibilities poorly and are unlikely to leave since neither their experience nor aimless performance is likely to qualify them for comparable position and pay in other companies.

Pros

Good work / Family life balance. Good location (until they move everyone to the warehouse district).

Cons

As far as IT this company is a sinking ship. They recently fired two Vice presidents. Replaced their CTO. In IT they fired the lead architect. 3 other architects have left. 3 Development directors have left. Numerous senior developers have left. Right now it is a giant political mess. And they have dragged their feet at re hiring these positions. Up to this point there has been little promotion from with in. Now they are hiring to replace just 2 of all those positions. There were 25 that applied. The company is making a move to out sourcing to both China and India for some pieces of their development (testing the waters).
