Pros

Good is you just want to do the same copy and paste work.

Cons

This company tries to blacklist former employers and violates the law if you leave for other job opportunities. They WILL call employers and give you a bad recommendation and they WILL try to ruin your life. They think they are too powerful to follow the law.

Lost Its Way, AVOID!

Project manager

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

ESOP, allows entrepreneurial activities if you stay billable, marketing machine and worksharing creates some opportunities.

Cons

Culture is destroyed. Stock performing poorly in recent years. Glorified sweat shop. Management in Omaha out of touch. Soulless place to work especially if you value work life balance. Preaches quality and integrity but does not walk the talk. CTO is overpaid clueless wonk.
