Pros

2016 will now have a (small) bonus program for all salaried employees, payout is yearly. High end of salaries than most tech companies. (but you pay for it by working with outdated tools!) Flexible office hours, and WFH options - well, dependent on your manager Many position include a mobile phone you can use for personal time. Beer-Friday (yes, beer is served on Friday down in the cafe at 3:30) New "unlimited" Flexible Time Off. (replacement for PTO) Not tracked, but also not guaranteed. Massage Therapist & Chiropractor onsite.

Cons

Siris Capital firm bought DR last year and is making "operational" improvements (cost cutting!). The future is unknown in terms of when they would sell, or piece out the company. ELT made the statement that we aren't hitting our company goals (shaming us) - yet, the company goals are now 30-40% growth. That's not realistic. No merit increases this year for salary!!!! Constant shifting of priorities. Even when they say they aren't going to shift them "from here on out". Conference room audio is awful. New health insurance program puts all employees on a High Deductible, Low Premium plan - simply because the new Chief of HR said it worked better for his personal experience. Yearly Employee Engagement survey doesn't change management Off-shoring employees is in full swing! They are not replacing onshore attrition in IT or Engineering.
