Pros

-The current success of the company brings a sense of pride as an employee. -Total comp plan brings rewards if you can remain with the company 3 - 5 years. -You will work with a diverse group of peers that will enhance your life.

Cons

-The customer centric front works. Behind the scenes its chaos. The current growth without standardizing and structure brings more chaos. -Intelligent people are hired, under-employed and under-utilized. -Training and development are not a priority at the management levels. -Performance management is a passive aggressive process. It manages nothing and kills morale. -The lack of work/life balance is not worth waiting for the comp. rewards.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
