Pros

Exciting technology and opportunities for technical growth while contributing to meaningful solutions that really do change people's lives. Multiple technologies and platforms are embraced to form an ecosystem of services. A great emphasis is placed on agile and technical progress is consistent without overburdening staff resulting in a very good work/life balance.

Cons

The PTO grants could be more generous. Management could be less clique driven and more management oriented. Much of middle level management has risen from the ranks and has no real ability to manage or communicate. Upper management does not seem to notice this and does not appear to offer any means for these inexperienced managers, who often do no managing at all, to improve by any observable means.

Pros

You get to work with talented people who know how to deliver with current technologies! The work/life balance is good - the benefits are good and the pay is competitive.

Cons

Engineers are packed in tight! They are rebuilding cubicles with only waist high partitions - so anyone walking past your desk on the opposite side can see your face and distract you!
