Pros

If you are a workout junkie, or generally an active lifestyle person, you'll love working at Active. The company places great emphasis on being active, with multiple opportunities and programs to help support an active lifestyle.

Cons

Active places very little value in its IT workforce. Despite their public claims, Active is not a technology company. There is little to no emphasis on technology and the company culture is decidedly sales oriented. Management insists on stack ranking, which leads to significant turnover. In the few years I've worked there, I've seen nearly all the top engineers either leave for better jobs elsewhere or lose their positions due to aggressive outsourcing to China.
