Works people until they burn-out

Pros

Innovative environment with great product, plenty of work to do, which drives accountability.

Cons

CEO is constantly distracted and makes quick judgments on employees, who then struggle to recover from that initial impression. Very 'clique-y' environment, where the CEO chooses who sits where based on personality. Terrible benefits and management is cheap when it comes to salary increases and bonuses. Management doesn't truly care about people. They do what is required so they are not sued, but there is no real 'caring' for the employees. They constantly bring in new people who work until they are burned out, and then they replace them, like mechanical pieces.

Pros

The developers are good people. The pay feels fair for the amount of work expected.

Cons

-Management has no idea where they're going. -Few people manage to break from SE2 to SE3. Many people get stuck at SE2 for many years with no hope of advancement, even if they have impactful accomplishments.

Pros

The people at corporate below the management level are quite nice, usually helpful and generally good people. That's about it.

Cons

The software they are producing is horrible, and follows no rational standards. The technical management, from the pouty CTO to the utterly uninvolved development manager, is terrible. Don't work for them, just run in the opposite direction.
