      Pros

      Career Growth Oppportunity Flexible schedule and work/life balance Very competitive compensation package Diverse work environment in regards to experience and technical bandwidth

      Cons

      The company is steadily changing as a result of downsizing, mergers etc, and there is a level of instability associated with that change that creates a strain on personnel as they adjust to the new environment.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has great benefits, onsite gym, onsite cafe, company store with Nestle products. The campus is truly a park.

      Cons

      The work is unexciting and utilizing technology from 12 years ago. We are still on IE 6 if you can believe that. Recent acquisition and layoffs have left those that remain employed with little confidence in future with the company and overworked as they inherit tasks left by those that were laid off.
