Total Disaster! A company of D-students with no skills.

Pros

Inexpensive benefits package. Typical 401k package. Flexible work hours and occasional work from home. Compensation is about market-rate. Facilities are decent, but overcrowded.

Cons

IT is mostly low-talent cowboys who have no ability or desire to deliver quality products. Management is made up mostly of people who have stuck around a few years, but lack any business savvy or ability to learn. Culture: smiles on the outside - knives in your back as you walk away. They talk "team" and "culture", but its the most dysfunctional and anti-collaboration/cooperation place you will ever work. Management takes trip after trip to sunny places for "team builders", but the average 'joe' sees no benefits/perks. Work subject matter is boring - boring - boring. If you want to work with D-grade hacks who fail at the simplest of tasks, this is the place for you!

Pros

Flexibile. Nice people driven by a sense of purpose. You are able to do big things easily.

Cons

It is mid-sized so there just aren't many opportunities to move up

Pros

compensation is average, employees are friendly, flexible with hours, perks are good

Cons

lacks leadership, every month or so employee is introduced to new strategies, abandoning the existing ones without considering the after affects on an ongoing project. The company is clearing struggling to get their products in an online environment, Tech and Ops is not confident and always providing empty promises to business. Sr. Management can be hostile .
