Pros

Relatively good work life balance for it's US Hired workforce. It's a different story for their imported folks.

Cons

- Compensation is terrible compared to industry standard. First off offers are about 15-20% below industry standard. Furthermore, you'll probably end up making about 80-90% of what is offered in your offer letter. The compensation package includes many "variable's" that influence your overall salary. - Vacation time is terrible. Only 2wks - HR Dept is horrible. Terrible policies and too many layers. - Tech Support is aweful - Travel Compensation: You will inevitably pay money out of your pocket to cover travel expenses. They have a cap per day that can be spent for hotel/car. - ZERO 401k matching
