Pros

- Amazing benefits - Very good salary - Lots of very passionate people - Many company events (baseball, ski trip, etc.) - Flexible work environment

Cons

- DISORGANIZED! It took me two weeks to get my NDA signed because people weren't alerted to my start date - Absentee manager - Complete lack of cohesive development process. Everything was just thrown together at last minute - Broken promises. I talked to my staffing manager about changing roles due to dissatisfaction with where I was, and got absolutely no resolution. Just temporary placating until I stopped complaining.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
