Pros

Very friendly people, support work-life balance. Very supportive, especially respective personal life. Management and co-workers go beyond their duty to support and help. Managers are very helpful and listen to you. It is up to an individual to contribute and make a change. This is not a company to play hardball at employees. They will try their best to keep (sometime not so good) people as well.

Cons

Growth for very talented people is limited. Can hit the wall very soon. They have weird benefits policies. Actually this is common in Florida firms. They will not hire directly, and let you go through contract to hire process. After you become an employee, wait for at least 3 months to start your benefits. No stock options and very limited ESPP.

Pros

Pay is competitive. You get a free cruise.

Cons

The culture here was ok, though not the best. Now with a VERY strict 9-5 policy, the entire company is feeling the grip of the execs. No exceptions for anyone who has a doctors appointment or needs to pick up a kid or adjust their hours slightly to get through life. Many employees have to work extra hours, travel across the world, and work based on other time zones due to projects spanning across the world. No matter, 9-5 or pack your things. Execs are demanding more control, they seem to forget that they placed their office all the way in the traffic zoo of the Port of Miami. No one is happy and now you can hardly get out of the port at a decent time. Would have loved to see some execs and vps fight against this but it seems they only care about protecting themselves, and Mr Liberty is having his way. I hope he enjoys this act of control as it is making his employees miserable. Expect high turn over soon or layoffs, or both. Many of the small benefits have been rolled back without any announcement (food discounts, commuter discounts) without any notice. We have lost the plot, we are selling vacations, not saving lives.
