Pros

Japanese green tea in the break room (better than many Japanese restaurants) Short hours Benefits (8% 401k match, down payment assistance for buying a house etc.)

Cons

I was in for a big surprise because I was assigned to do something very different from what was promised during job interview. Turned out it is a common practice - I met quite a few people who were in the same situation as me. Don't worry too much about what they tell you during interviews. Also, they really try hard to suppress your salary. I got a 50% salary raise moving to another company.

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
