Pros

Salary is competitive, gym is nice

Cons

Do yourself a favor and rent 'Snowpiercer' before working here, it's a lot like that. Management is sitting up in a ivory tower on the 14th floor. Regular employees do not have access and are crammed on top of each other everywhere else in the building while professional chefs serve the executives lunch in their spacious offices. Does this sound like modern technology company? Meanwhile the CEO is micromanaging design decisions that are well beyond his grasp. Go ahead, download Usher, see if it makes any sense to you. No? Well thank Michael Saylor for that, he designed it. Do you really want to work at a place where you will have 0 impact on the design because ultimately the CEO is driving everything? Speaking of which, he's been in a 10 year coma partying and touring the world on his yachts, has now arisen from his slumber and decided that his ailing company badly needs his attention. Board members have repeatedly called for his resignation. In an effort to appease them, he's aggressively firing anyone who looks him in the eye the wrong way. I would not assume that your position is going to last for any period of time if you take a job here
