Pros

Work from home, the compensation use to be great, but that's been gone for some time. Unlimited time off, yet there is so much pressure to perform you feel guilty for even thinking about a day off.

Cons

No clear vision from upper management, constant change, but never "good" change, constant fire drills, constant management changes. People are not people, they are what the produce, and they will get rid of you in a heart-beat, they have zero soul, it's all about shareholder and the bottom-line. Yet there is a "fun" atmosphere, but it's a facade, it's not real. People are over-worked, and for the most part, the people who work here are stressed out and fairly rude.
