Pros

they have a good employee discount, and hired me after long term unemployment, not a whole lot more can be said

Cons

I have seen people show up for work, and after only being on the clock for 30 minutes, managment telling them that "we need to cut hours" and send them home.. Real nice, they didn't even make enought to pay for the gas to get to work that day.. SOMEONE should have figured that out BEFORE the people were schedualed to come in, and call them, so they didn't waste there time and gas.

Pros

Great salary , bonus and RSUs

Cons

Management still thinks of products as projects and doesn't fund appropriately. Some areas are ahead in tech, some areas aren't. Too many ex-Accenture VPs and up. Hard to promote junior employees, yet VPs/ SVPs promoted frequently. DO BOTH. Weird communication across pyramids.
