Pros

I have been working here for the last 2.5 years and the benefits are a lifesaver. Saving money and providing the best benefits that I know of. The employees overall are all great and we are one big team. There is a lot of team building and social events here. The newsletters are great to receive on a daily basis with knowing what is going on. The executive are the best and the brightest I met. The work life basis is great especially for those who have family and to allow us to VPN from home.

Cons

Moving up in your career is not as fast as you would think it should be. There is no training for regular employees but there is training for Sales and Customer Support. The salary range and stock range is not same across the board for employees. Some employees will get more in stock and salary even if they are the same level as others which can cause conflicting issues. Bonus are not for all employees only certain level and above

Pros

This was the office started with big ambition. multiple, good to great projects to develop from scratch; not just maintenance. Good salary, free lunch and benefits. This is the place you want to stick around for years; but...

Cons

Few people ruined both, the work opportunity and the culture. Architects who know nothing about the technology but are there because of their link. Few manager; more concerned with people timing, meetings but not with actual work done. They are technically not very good for such projects and most of the time are trying to prove they understand tech with ease (But in vain as they do not have a clue). Many times they discuss things with Architect(who himself is trying to claim someone else's work to prove his worth). People tried to complain things to HR; but it seems there is leak there; so do not expect confidentiality. Finally the management heads who hired these guys and trust them to do the right thing. It is beyond me; how can they managed to hire so many incompetent people. On top of that; they are giving them free run; despite people complaining about them. Sadly most of the good engineers have left due to this culture.
