Pros

The people are great and there is a good work life balance.

Cons

Everything else. They hire a lot of people who are out of work so they can get good people for less than they’re worth. The benefits are an embarrassment. $5K deductible, no choices. Definitely do not come here if you want to have a child, there is no maternity (or paternity) leave. They will tell you the company is healthy and then they lay off 5-10% of the staff the following week.
