Pros

They offer a good benefits package and compensation, and an easy going place to work. Most people are friendly, and you can wear blue jeans. They show employee appreciation very well and try to keep their employees happy.

Cons

The training program is not well developed, and you don't have all the information you need. It works more as a "learn as you go" than a real training program. The person that mostly trains you is stretched very thin. People are friendly, but you must talk to them first, they will not reach out to you in most cases. Things move slowly here, and you get a lot of vague answers.

Pros

The company that I was working for was purchased by Edline and, although layoffs were plentiful, I was asked to stick around and enjoy the free soda.

Cons

Mismanagement from every angle... With information security, procedures, and protocol already in place at a medium/large business, you can only imagine the nightmare of letting a key systems engineer go here and a key developer go there and a key network engineer go here and... It was as if employees were not even evaluated during several buyouts but, instead, randomly picked to stay based on shear luck. New management was so detached from their acquired product that the company almost went defunct within a year and had to be bailed out and bought up by Blackboard.
