Pros
Good work/life balance. Free gym membership (plus they have an AWESOME gym at corporate headquarters), lots of free supplements plus great discount if you order from the store. Great benefits, and I loved my boss (CMO). I heard new management is taking over, and to me, that's a good thing! They are located in Boise, which is an area that has a very low cost of living. So even though you may get paid less, you still have a lot of discretionary income at the end of the day.
Cons
The pay is way below market standards - at least for my position. They work very, very slowly. I've never seen such a large development team get so little done. There were also a lot of slackers at this company who took 2 hour lunches, or worked out in the middle of the day for over an hour, or left early when there's work to be done. It was easy to hide your laziness in this company. On the flip side, I was ready and willing to work and contribute and got put off, with nothing to do. I had to find work to do and offered my services to numerous departments. There are some people who would be okay with too little to do but I was extremely unhappy about this! For one, I couldn't show them how talented I am. For another, a person needs to make a meaningful contribution to their company for job satisfaction, so I was not happy for most of my time there. I was, as several coworkers often said "a serious waste of talent." I couldn't agree more! They could have gotten SO much out of me, but never took advantage of it. Another thing I didn't like was the bro culture there. If you were in with the hardcore exercise crowd, you were taken seriously and more likely to get promoted (especially muscular women). If you weren't, forget about being heard. I don't even think this was consciously done. But management has a responsibility to be more aware of this type of culture.
