Pros

young, dynamic environment, take good care of their employees, interesting technical issues, state of the art technology (using c# though)

Cons

going through a rough patch now with all the controversy, law suits, un-known future; grew very fast so there is now over emphasis on process (will get better over time though), long hours (problematic if you have kids and family), weekend support during NFL season, on call over night one week a month

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
