Can't speak to Powells, but as an ex-Rentraker:

Pros:

    * Pair programming
    * Test-driven development
    * Code base doesn't suck
    * For most part, highly competent, intelligent, fun coworkers

Cons:

    * They don't pay well
    * Some of the managers are pretty obnoxious
    * Orwellian level of time tracking
