Pros

Free Coffee, interesting work, there are some knowledgeable people working here.

Cons

Too much to list. Back stabbing, Laiding off worker before the Christams Holidays is no way to treat people who has been loyal to the company, who in the past has put in long without pay. This was a nice place to work for at one time. Leaders are paid high six-figure salaries and multi-million dollar bonuses on the backs of employees who are lucky to get a 2% salary increase, and who are constantly in fear of losing their jobs. Employees are angry and disengaged, overworked and unappreciated. There are huge cracks in this company's foundation, and the company will collapse under its own weight as it continues to acquire other companies and showing such contempt for its employees. Career development and employee training are nonexistent. Leaders see employees as completely expendable. All that matters to this company is what Wall Street sees and getting their year end bonuses.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
