Pros

1. Every Tuesday you get your choice of a free bagel. 2. Casual dress code. 3. In house cafeteria. 4. Co-workers are nice and friendly. I've made a lot of friends. 5. Occasional Company Mixers that allow you to drink and converse with Co-Workers.

Cons

1. If you're a creative, free-thinker, with amazing ideas you will not be heard. 2. The only way you'll get ahead is if you know someone. 3. Business as usual since the 80s. 4. A lot of work for minimal pay. 5. Raises are done on percentages. Don't expect getting big raises. 6. Don't expect nice work equipment. My chair is stained yellow from when people were still allowed to smoke in the office. The padding is so worn I constantly fear developing hemorrhoids from sitting in it all day.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
