Pros

Some of the people are good to work with, but the good ones don't stay long. ESOP is good, benefits are good, and vacation is awesome for people who have been in the industry for a while.

Cons

No advancement unless you leave and come back. Managers are terrible and only look at the numbers and not the people, which is pushed from the top down. The bonus program is a pyramid scheme that only benefits management. Pay is not great. The projects are terrible and poorly managed. Too many non-engineers running the show.

Pros

Each office provides tons of free alcohol to the employees. In office happy hours area help with morale. Drinking is encouraged. We’re allowed to drink at work starting at 4pm.

Cons

You have to be at work by 8am and work AT LEAST 40 hours a week!
