Pros

The drama was always pretty entertaining and helped me to become more sociable. I also liked a lot of the people who were there when I was there. I think that you can do well there and enjoy it if you have a huge unchangeable sense of your own self worth. The upper management will sense that attitude and respect it.

Cons

The main issue is that the only thing the management respects or likes is working long hours and lots of confidence. Missing either of those traits will make you not a good fit for the company.

Pros

Great people to work with Unusual perks - Starbucks, skateboards, massages, fresh organic fruit Good for entry level positions and Temp jobs Occasional "fun" activities to socialize with co-workers

Cons

Each year as the company gets bigger, the importance of the individual lessens and goals fade No clear management standards or feedback system - promotes and retains unqualified managers Long hours, no work-life balance Human Resources Dept completely unhelpful and will not intervene when needed Less and less "Fun" activities and events, and more often expected to work Holidays and unpaid overtime (typically 50 - 60 hours a week without any pay over 40 - the hours are logged, just not paid) CEO speaks about his values, goals and how the company caters to each individual, but makes empty promises and false hopes Employees tend to be promoted based on years with the company rather than how well they qualify

Pros

Free star bucks coffee and 25 cent drinks. Vacation time accumulates as soon as you start employment.

Cons

No support for learning new things. Each release cycle goes between the two extremes of not having enough work to stave off boredom and work 60+ hour weeks. Management has no interest in any input the people "below" them have. Very unprofessional management, which constantly incite drama amongst themselves.
