Pros

-Great perks and work/life balance. -People are great to work with and passionate. -Campus is being updated. -Innovation is encouraged and rewarded.

Cons

-Management makes all the decisions while employees have no say. -IMO my performance was not based on the quality of my work but based on the perception I was leaving from getting to work at 9:15 due to having a one year old with a wife in school and an hour commute, compared to the rest of my group all with stay-at-home moms. My reviews had nothing to do with my accomplishments. -Management called me in the middle of my vacation out of the country to tell me I was laid off. My group was given more funding for the year and then dissolved. -Needs to operate much more efficiently.
