      Pros

      Friendly and helpful environment, reasonable hours, management tries working with your schedule if you are student. Regular meet ups with manager to evaluate your progress. Good company values.

      Cons

      Micromanagement with some supervisors. Few mins late from break and manager went searching agents sometimes. Required to know a bit of everything across departments with little or quick training.

      Pros

      relatively easy job....members are usually sane and support is so much easier since we don't have to support the Family Tree Maker software anymore now that its been handed over to MacKiev.

      Cons

      Trying to move up in the company is a horrible game; aka company culture/politics are awful. Pay is meh, job is stressful. Really high turnover rate means a flood of new hires and accompanying incompetence.

      Pros

      Best word to describe work is: chill. I can come in anytime and leave anytime, work from home on Fridays, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday's, meditation and massages onsite, my teammates are all senior engineers so I'm learning a lot from them, catered meals on Mondays, tons of benefits (health, vision, $300 gift for transportation monthly), unlimited snacks, great salary : )

      Cons

      Needs more enthusiasm from workers
