Passion, talent, a little skimpy on pay

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented engineers, passionate about open source. Open/transparent culture. Management really cares about your long-term happiness and will help you find ways to work towards your career goals. Working with the latest technology to stabilize it for enterprise use.

Cons

Salary is a bit low compared to other companies, but the benefits and work/life balance help even that out. Sometimes individual teams can lack leadership or fall into states of dysfunction, but it really depends on your immediate team. And you can always switch to another department (like I did... twice).

Pros

Working on cutting-edge technology, unique company culture, high respect and freedom to developers

Cons

Well, sometimes not easy to understand what is the process to follow or how to do a task. A bit hard at the beginning. This is strictly related to the freedom left. Anyway, people ready to help, bureaucracy is not enforced at all. Not that bad after all.
