Pros

North location is convenient Worked with some really good people, most of whom have been smart enough to leave

Cons

Be sure you read the review below "Be the next cog in a broken system.” It sums up things very well. No tech leadership. The company lacks any kind of tech vision or leadership. Disparate groups are free to create silos and build things in orthognal directions. The company cares very little about investing in well crafted, maintainable software systems. They would rather cobble something together and throw it over the wall, building more and more technical debt.
