Pros

- free food several days a week - Good people for the most part - it's nice to work with people you can learn from. - on top of new technologies in certain areas of the company

Cons

- long hours and almost no personal life - low pay in comparison to other software engineering jobs in the area - In most product areas, there is such a high demand for bug fixes and "emergency" patches that it has become a "burn and churn" type of environment. - If you are not part of the top clique of friends, you might as well settle into mediocrity and get some experience, then move on.

Pros

Your co-workers will often be energetic and friendly. There is indeed a culture of celebration and, whether you find this to be genuine feeling among staff or not, it certainly does seem to make clients feel more welcome when visiting the campus.

Cons

The company's services seem to suffer during the busiest time of the year, which lasts from September through December. Instead of investing in finding ways to handle the growth, they simply require employees to work longer. I'm not afraid of working late, but here for many employees it is accepted as a hard reality. The standard benefits package is sub-par and appears to reveal that they don't expect staff to stay long. I suspect a high turnover rate with employee retention.
