Pros

-None I see no reason, why anybody would want to stay at this company in the long run. If I could give this place 0 stars....I would.

Cons

**Worked on the Operations Team -Highly Understaffed -Poor Brand Name Recognition (Won't do much good to include on your Resume) -A lot of pay is in stock -No matching 401K -0% Work Life Balance -Management is awful and highly political -Work culture is terrible (either your on the "inside" and play heavy politics or on the "outside" where people treat you as expendable) -No opportunity for growth or learning -A Small company with Big company problems and without any of the benefits **MARK MY WORDS. DO NOT WORK HERE. HR IS VERY GOOD AT PERSUASION. DON'T LISTEN TO THE SIREN SONG!

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
