Pros

* Location - Bend, OR is fabulous. * Promises - they said a lot - did nothing. * Offer Letter - had the correct legal disclaimers.

Cons

* Offices - trailers, construction, cubes, dust, bad light, noise, and lack of ventilation (smell). * Management - talk, talk, talk; promise, promise, promise ... no deliveries. * Direction - none. * Dishonesty - I was promised a 10% bonus and quit because they changed the policy and dropped bonuses. * Petty - their HR docs states 401k matching at 50% of the first 5%; which they did until somebody decided to retroactively remove 1/2 of all their matching - months after I had quit. Can they do that ?
