Pros

Good benefits and work from home policy.

Cons

Few legacy products that still bring in revenue. Company financially is just barely doing okay and new product is not doing good at all due ownership politics and one bad decision after another. Lot of outsourcing, layoffs and no good direction makes it a company that you would think twice before even applying for. Draconian style of management due to extreme politics. During my time I went through three CTOs and three directors. Most of the colleagues left the company for better opportunities.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
