Pros

Physically a nice building with a great view, desks are nice too and coffee was free!

Cons

If you are over 40, they discriminate against you, they do not like older women in the Legal/Contracts Department. The very young girl running the department told me I reminded me of her mother of whom she hated then had me fired for no reason, careful if you are older, they won't like you

Pros

Passionate Co-workers. Whether you're in sales, support, or customer service you'll be surrounded by people who care about what they do.

Cons

Multiple failed product launches in recent months. No lessons seemed to be learned so repetitive errors continue to go out to customers.
