Pros

Was a good small company Decent health insurance

Cons

Cequint now has developers in Seattle and Florida offices. The team in Florida thinks that they are superstars and one particular person humiliates Seattle employees and the management. The irony is that the management allows such bad behavior. In most other companies, such behavior would have resulted in that individual being fired, but not in Cequint. The management must really believe in the capabilities of its Florida team, otherwise why would such behavior be tolerated? Many senior employees have left the company for this very reason. Layoffs have been happening, but that can be attributed to unsuccessful products and being acquired by TNS and then Siris capital. Not a good place to work anymore.

Pros

Pays well. Almost all of the staff are fantastic engineers. Managers in the "trenches" are smart and capable. Decent kitchen and good work environment in terms of office space. Great location.

Cons

Health benefits are horrible. 401k is marginal at best. Current management above senior level up has a habit of undoing things that work and inhibiting productivity. Team "leads" are often afforded more consideration than management staff. Recruiting staff regularly oversteps their bounds and behaves inappropriately at times. Company has a long standing tendency of driving off capable and competent people in favor of yes men and people who are marginally capable of driving the business. There was once a fantastic executive management team that was slowly driven out and it's a shell of what it once was.
