Pros

Free lunch, snacks, drinks, etc. Great people to work with (at the 'grunt' level). "Amazon Subsidiary" on your resume.

Cons

Broken culture stemming from incompetence at the top levels. 8 managers in less than 3 years. Departments at war with each other. Managers fighting each other because of resource shortages. A complete lack of clear vision to align people on. VPs who are trying to help manage people they've never actually met or talked to. No communication going up the chain, but lots of orders coming down. "Always just barely shipping" culture of quality.

Pros

Great product Free catered lunch great internship program and community involvement

Cons

Micromanagement in seemingly ALL departments! No work life balance. working from home in accounting? Forget about it! Antiquated work process! Slow to implement improvements. "Make the donuts" type of attitude even though they say they don't want that as a culture. Get ready to print print print and pass paper around for signatures! Management sets bad precedence with work expectations, including mandatory OT after PTO and/or working while on PTO Top heavy in almost all departments No chance to advance your career Titles are a scam, Director and VP titles are handed out like candy! And NO ONE Works! You may have manager in your title but have 0 reports. Everyone is alwaysed backed up and missing deadlines asking for exceptions! Low morale from over worked under appreciated employees. You will get trapped in a position if you don't become buddy buddy with the right manager.
