Pros

- Fast paced, results-driven work place with a lot of opportunity to be recognized for accomplishments - Generous perks and compensation is directly correlated to commitment and contribution to the company - Satisfying and fulfilling work where impact within the company can be noticed - A lot of freedom to explore unique solutions and express individualism - Beautiful work environment aimed at providing the employees a relaxed atmosphere

Cons

This niche market utilizes complex technology that is not commonly known. Success within the company is determined by the individual's aptitude to learn and their ability to digest and apply this understanding. Not really a con since this is described in detail in each of the company's job descriptions.

Pros

Beautiful Location Great Co-Workers Laid-back, but professional Acceptable Salary Decent Benefits Good support from upper-management

Cons

At the time, I was a recent college graduate who just bought a house, and my wife and I brought our first child into the world. They hired me three weeks after I graduated, and I thought that this would be a great career with a lot of hard-working people that I respected. Unfortunately, due to 'economic circumstance', less than 3 months later, my job and the department I worked in was eliminated--leaving me unemployed with a ton of student loans, a mortgage to pay, and hospital bills from my child's birth--despite working extremely hard, meeting all of my deadlines, and producing a lot of material. This resulted in severe financial hardship (unemployment compensation in Texas is not enough) for me and my family, that we still have not recovered from. If considering employment with Futurex, I would be sure to ask them questions to protect yourself from this .

Pros

- Opportunities for advancement are tied directly to demonstrated skill and are not limited by tenure - Beautiful work environment - tennis court, pool, top-notch landscaping - Collaborative environment where teamwork is highly encouraged - Ample opportunity to work on production-level projects with a fast time to market

Cons

The data security industry is a fairly complex one, and it often takes new employees a month or two to become really familiar with the technology. This is seen across the board in any industry/company that relies heavily on sophisticated technology, unfortunately.
