      Great place to start

      Pros

      It has a lot of different projects and uses a wide range of technologies (although it's starting to move to a Java only mentality) The management is pretty un-intrusive Lots of friendly people Possibility to learn a lot and very fast I got the chance to learn Scala and enjoy the hell out of it

      Cons

      Management is pretty useless and has almost no technical knowledge There are no technical training incentives (courses, books or anything) There is a lot of people working in product, who have little technical knowledge and it is difficult to communicate There is not a lot of room for innovation The facilites are starting to fall apart.

      Pros

      Great team to work with. Relaxed enviroment. A lot of learning opportunities. A lot of chances to experiment, try new things.

      Cons

      It's very difficult for a women to grow in leader positions, not to talk to managing ones. They have a very machist culture. No career plan, changing conditions always. Long term planning is very difficult.

      Pros

      Excellent environment. Innovative company with growth capacity. Everybody is always trying to help, and the chances to grow inside the company are endless.

      Cons

      Still needs to mature as a company. The product team is messy and needs refinement every now and then. But since they are trying to grow, the professionalism is starting to show.
