Pros

There used to be some Cons at one time not anymore.

Cons

Unable to follow their own values and mission statement, No advancement for employees, your asked to present ideas and there is no follow through. Purchased other businesses with no idea how to run them accordingly, only to sell them off at a loss. this happened too often. Training of employees leaves a lot to be desired. Restructure and Reorganize another sign of incompetence.

Pros

Free Food, Free Soda. Fun People to work with. Nice Equipment on your desk. If you want to do minimal work and not have to advance your career much, this is the place for you. You can retire and not tell anyone and still get paid.

Cons

So much time is spent implementing AGILE methodologies. Very little work being done but we got Agile. People with skills leave because you do such mundane work. It will not build your career. But you can get paid to retire.
