      Pros

      Work from home Employee friendly Open source work opportunities Open work culture, sharing of information is promoted.

      Cons

      Frankly, could not see any major cons. Overseas transfer is very unlikely. Few administrative work need to be done by employee itself in case of any travel.

      For Open Source lovers

      Senior software engineer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Open Source culture, meaning that everything is published in public repositories (like GitHub) * Transparent decision making process (in my team, at least) * Innovative and interesting tasks * Ability to work with people from around the world and exchange ideas * Most tech positions can be performed from home * Did I say Open Source culture already?

      Cons

      * It's not uncommon for interesting projects to get killed in favor of an acquisition (liveoak vs. feedhenry, apiman vs. 3scale, just to list the last 2 examples) * Lack of a "central architecture team" leads to the situation where the company has N solutions for the same problem, each with its own specificities and focused on a different "niche", instead of a single comprehensive solution. * NIH-syndrome is on a per-team basis, meaning that teams would usually prefer to create something from scratch rather than use something developed by another internal team. This kinda defeats the "open source culture" from the "pros". * Sometimes, it feels like the teams are too big, and that there are "too many cooks" (specially managers).

      Pros

      Managers are reasonable. I came in with little understanding of a lot of the technologies I had to work with. They gave me time to get over the learning curve. For full-timers, a lot of managers are fine with you working remote - it's a very distributed company.

      Cons

      None that i could see in my three months there as an intern.
