Pros

Good benefits and increasingly flexible hours and dress code. Pay is decent enough when you're coming straight out of college

Cons

Not a lot of motivated, smart people and those that are get dismayed pretty quickly. Old, crappy technology and weak technical leadership without the resources to fix it.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
