Pros

I made some great friends there Great Health Insurance Almost everything else is gone

Cons

I know there are some positive reviews coming out, and there a few people who are still happy (They seems to be in McNairs Group mostly). If your coming into a new job though, your taking a position your probably not going where people are even content, but where they quit in frustration. Here why they probably left (since there were so few layoffs in engineering): -Horrible Work environment up to and after the buyout -Waves of engineers, leaving in groups of 10-20 within months then weeks then days of each other -Lack of promotions -Lack of concern of upper management (and some lower management) -Legacy code that isn't allowed to be cleaned up, instead new stuff is just grafted on like some monster -Taking away of summer days and altering 10% time And just generally making life miserable to get as many people to leave as possible, so they don't have to layoff.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
