Pros

a fun transition from college into the so called "real world" A great chance to learn the ropes of eCommerce. It's been awhile, but during my tenure management really tried to create a fun work culture. I met a few wonderful and intelligent people and i enjoyed working with Steve and Niraj.

Cons

LOW PAY with heavy reliance on a yearly bonus. A workforce tended to be very cliquey and operated almost like a fraternity. While CSN's policy of promoting from within attracted me in the first place, I felt promotions to middle management were given prematurely in many cases and that I arrived TOO LATE . The company was and probably still is VERY young, filled with many bright people jockeying for position. . Unfortunately, overall I believe the low pay keeps CSN from holding on to the top talent they need. Personally, I felt frustrated with being treated like a child, but I should mention was 3-4 years older than most workers. Thanks for the free fruit, but pay me for my time and I can buy my own!

Pros

Great open environment. Fun coleagues and company culture. You get to learn a lot about business and have access to a great deal of information. The senior management is very open to sharing information and giving all employees access to data. The culture promotes self starters and promotes based on merit rather than tenure. Very dynamic place to work. Challenging technology, great place to learn new things and push the limits. Company is very good about letting engineers try/learn new things. There is a bit of an R&D side to the techwork they do, so it is fun to see new things.

Cons

Very complex systems take a while to learn and master.

Pros

They entrust you with a lot of responsibility very quickly. If you take the opportunities provided you will learn a tremendous amount. The culture is also terrific. They (the company) actively encourages building a strong sense of camaraderie/friendship among coworkers. Its worked, I have a lot of fun at work, which I attribute to the fact that I view the people I work with more like friends than coworkers.

Cons

Pay. As stated they give you a great deal of responsibility and in turn you learn a lot, but they don't pay you inline with what you could be making out on the market with the skills they just taught you.
