Great people and team cohesiveness

Business Outlook

Pros

Teams were small and worked well together. Knowledge was shared across teams, and the QA/DB/Ops teams dovetailed with Dev. Everyone was quite professional.

Cons

Lack of mp3 support in the HDD player torpedoed any chance of going up against the iPod or being a serious contender, but we had no say in its features. The original office, while not as cool on the outside as the new digs, was laid out well and functional. We moved into a larger office building and the Dev team was placed next to the elevators which killed concentration with over a hundred people funneling past our desks throughout the day.
