Pros

Great workspace, free snacks and drinks and great work life balance with lots of perks.

Cons

Management isn't properly trained or skilled enough to lead team. They are not good leaders. Concerns and complaints from employees are ignored as a result issues continue to happen and the employees are left to pick up pieces. They have a habit of putting temporary band aids on problems and moving to the next big project.

Have's and the have nots

Pros

Passion of the people prior to 2010 (year of public offering). It WAS a wonderful place to work before the VP's and execs got a taste of the good life... possible exception the CEO, who is an amazing, charismatic, and intelligent person who unfortunately has surrounded himself with a poor team.

Cons

The way the VP's and Execs treat their employees is truly despicable. The way employees are ordered around and spoken to, particularly by certain individuals in client services, is worthy of HR attention. 1 level in the organization separated those who became millionaires and those who made enough off their options to perhaps buy a car. What was once perhaps a mission driven company interested in helping average participants with their retirement preparedness, became another corporation beholden to their stockholders, only interested in lining their own pockets.

Pros

Good friendly people..Good company for laid back engineers who plan to retire without career achievements.

Cons

Promotion policies are different for different teams in technology. High performers won't achieve career satisfaction.
