Pros

Some free water, free drinks and free cookies. Famous company name which provide good career profile. Feasible time and feasible workplace. Work from home is a plus for family guys who need to take care of children.

Cons

Medical benefits sucks, e.g. no dental for spouse, no prescribed glasses and no health screen claims below age 40. Only one internal toilet and it is water leaking forever. Have to use the shared public toilet with smoke smell always. Low mobile monthly allowance which doesn't even cover the cheapest basic phone data plan in the town. Messy internal document and complex workflow. Only 14 days annual leave which most of the companies already start to offering 15~18 days. Leave system should be count by hours, not day.

Pros

Hybrid which is nice, for what the job entails pay is ok I suppose at 60k. Every Wednesday there's food for employees.

Cons

Earlier in the year the frisco office was closed down, so many employees including myself who add living arrangements now have to travel 3 days a week to the downtown office. Which is 45 minutes + with traffic. On top of that the shift times suck as someone who appreciates work life balance. 7 am to 7 pm. I would also say that there are many organizational changes and career growth seems limited.
