Pros

- Many Friendly and talented people to work with and learn from - Learn new technology

Cons

- Lack of communication between departments - Micromanagement - Management does not care about it's employees and their personal time. They only care about pushing you to work and complete unrealistic deadlines. A lot of the work ends up being a waste of time because management have no idea how to schedule projects properly. - No opportunity to move up within the company - Company screwed over loyal employees by moving HQ to Arizona - Terrible raises - No bonus - No loyalty from management - Hardworking and loyal employees are not rewarded, but are pushed harder to work and expected to keep working at a fast pace - Stocks are dropping

Don't do it

Pros

They work with some really intersting technologies here and the employees tend to be really hard work and smart. Medical benefits are very inexpensive.

Cons

There is a serious micromanagement problem here. They want talented, senior employees, but they treat them like newbies. This is a problem across the board in software/innovations. The VP who runs the group is so arrogant and he talks down to almost everyone on staff. He is universally reviled and people complain to HR, but everyone in a position of authority sort of just takes a "that's how he is" stance. The pay is well below industry standards and staff has really poor morale.
