Pros

Lots of money and perks to go around , Mr. Parsons does like to give things away.

Cons

There are definitely insiders and outsiders. Not sure that the money and perks make up for the total lack of morals of the company leadership. it is too bad they are dragging down people like Danica in the process.

Pros

Good pay for Engineers. Great benefits. Unbeatable Vacation time at 4 weeks after your first year and 6 weeks after 5 years, especially for Phoenix Metro area! Flexible work schedule, possibility to work from home permanently for "privileged" people. Most engineers can work from time-to-time from home. Overall an "above average" to "very good" place to work.

Cons

Stressful often and "Very stressful" for some months of the year. Many people "tire out" quickly depending on which group they are in. Your work life depends on your manager's management style. Could be too challenging for some people, for most people you don't move around you could start in the wrong group and end up miserable. If you end up in a cool spot you should stay there but will sacrifice learning new stuff and possibly your career goals.

Pros

good salary and benefits. good work life balance, in part coming from the poor project and time management, so you have lots of down time

Cons

1. They code like it is 1995. They do not use modern coding standards 2. They are very reactive to bad events, not pro-active in adopting technologies that avoid these events. 3. They have huge complex systems with code that "self documents" needless to say no one understands what is going on at all. 4. They adopt a standard for an old technology (e.g. SQL Server 2000) then fail to change the standards for newer technologies. 5. There is no project management or system design. There is simply a ticket system so you write code to the individual ticket with no other design
