Pros

Good PTO - although you'll never take it because your clients won't have any support while you're gone Work from home

Cons

I wish I could go into detail here, but afraid my words will no longer be anonymous after my exit interview. I can't find a new job fast enough. Wish I could just quit, but need the paycheck. There's a very small group of employees left who care and they're getting laid off. No respect for employees, no respect for women. Compensation plans not communicated to employees and lack of transparency forces me to believe they're being dishonest.
