Pros

The people are great. WillowTree really go out of their way to make sure that the people they hire are genuinely good, fun people. It's refreshing that they don't JUST go after talent (which they certainly do), and as a result there's practically no drama. Friday's beer+social hour is an excellent way to end the week. When it comes to assigning work and R&D projects, I feel like our unique interests and specialties are taken into account. I love that. No cubicle walls! For some that'd be a con, but personally it makes it infinitely easier to come in to work every day.

Cons

As a company still in its relatively early stages, WillowTree is always growing and changing, so you need to be comfortable with being flexible.

Pros

First thing I noticed when I started working here is the amazing environment, everyone is very nice, helpful, professional and very smart. I have learned so much in my time working here just by being around such amazing people. It is because of the accessibility of everyone working here I've been able to diversify myself into areas I never thought I would from project planning to backend, from UX design process to embedded systems, from leadership (DRI roles) to Front-end web development and much more.

Cons

It doesn't snow so much on Charlottesville during the winter, which might be a pro for some but I like snow.

Well we can't do much about the snow, but thanks for the input about project planning. As you know we are always tweaking our processes to make them better and we love input like this.

Pros

I've been here for almost 3 years and I've learned so much. The opportunities to learn and implement bleeding edge technology is unparallelled. The open environment adds to the atmosphere and seems to encourage camaraderie among the groups that share the space. The co-workers here are the best part. No one is a douche and everyone gets along. There's not a single person here that I wouldn't drink a beer with, which is a nice segue into my next topic: Beer. More generally, the social events that WillowTree hosts in order to foster closer relationships among co-workers. Weekly beer:30's on Friday where we get a beer and just socialize. Weekly R&D meetings where we get pizza and talk about what's new in our technological world. It's something that is probably underrated by most. For a company like WillowTree to have the Esprit de corps that they have while still growing fairly rapidly is a feat in itself. The usual pros apply here as well: Good pay, they give you a Macbook to work on, 401k, profit sharing, etc. They're all nice, but nothing beats a workplace that you actually look forward to going to every weekday.

Cons

I suppose the upward mobility is fairly limited, since the management structure is fairly flat. Also the open office is nice, but can get loud. Personally I like it, and it tends to become white noise most of the time.
