Pros

It was a Pre-IPO company when I joined. The space is very hot, since Security and compliance is a big deal these days. The engineers there are of above average quality, and they work very hard and they are very productive. There are some super people there as well. Benefits were fairly good although their 401k did not match

Cons

Low Pay, decent benefits, but not great.. But I really got ripped off in terms of pay when I joined. they low balled me into taking a pay cut, which I later regretted. Basically the biggest drawback is that it is a startup with low pay.

Pros

Nice Co-workers In today's economy - salary is fair market free lunch on wed flexibly vacation/time off

Cons

Support Management takes the approach that you need to sacrifice your life for the company Support Management does not consider the employees need for advancement and growth Support Management only sees you as an asset for business needs Support management squeezes the most out of you Support Management takes an elite approach / favoritism towards promotions If you are in a particular division of support - you may have a less stressful job - others are constantly stressed Recognition is not about technical merit but on your ability to kiss-ass to management
