Not the best working environment.
Pros: The workforce is young and dynamic, which is something I appreciated.  The work and life balance is great, and everyone gets 25 days of personal time off (including sick days per year).
Cons: The cons outweighed the pros, which is ultimately why I ended up leaving the company.  There was a lack of growth opportunities, and it was very difficult to switch projects.  I found the compensation to be very stingy, especially my bonus at year-end.  There was also an aura of stifled bottom-up communications, as well as the notion that management protects their own (so like a "you versus us" dynamic) that I did not find to be conducive to a healthy work environment.  I did not feel like my professional development was considered to be important- the bottom line (money) was the only thing that resonated with management.
