Pros

The People. Great Co-workers. Friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Management, Management, and poor management! I worked at XAP for 5 years and loved every minute of the hard work and low pay until the new management took over. Ren and Stimpy decided they knew what was best for the company and got the new CEO to drink the Kool-Aide. They made decisions based on favoritism instead of actual job knowledge. If you were a part of their group then you were "Golden". The other poor saps were marginalized, undervalued and treated like uneducated morons. Do I sound bitter? I'm not. Leaving that place was the best thing to ever happen in my life. I miss my friends their but I don't miss the superior attitude of one particularly clueless VP. Some of his decisions caused him to loose several loyal employees.

Pros

A large percentage of the employees are kind, interesting, engaging, smart people of good character. Your role will not be limited to the "traditional" tasks associated with your job title - you will have the opportunity (necessity) to reach beyond those and contribute in other areas also.

Cons

You will not be rewarded or even acknowleged for exceptional performance. Management has been in total chaos for at least 5 years and remains so today. They do not have a plan - nor do they communicate decisions effectively to employees. There is no accountability at the Executive level - instead, their responsibilities are pushed down to the middle managers without commensurate authority to make decisions or produce outcomes. Getting a policy decision that is comprehensible is impossible. Senior Management will not remove barriers to progress, nor attend to the fundamentals necessary to enable middle and lower level employees to achieve good outcomes. Management will violate your trust, as was done with the December 2009 and June 2010 bonuses, which were not paid - and there was no communication of this intent by management until they were already overdue. The executive team simply does not respect employees, nor any contract that is signed. Getting management to deliver what has been promised in a contract with a customer is nearly impossible, so you will always be stuck between an exasperated and hostile customer and an incompetent, irresponsible Executive.
