Pros

Flexible workplace and work hours. Overall, peers , co-workers, and low-level & middle management were nice to work with. Vacation benefits are good.

Cons

Pay is below average. Benefits (except for vacation) are well below average. Training & education is atrocious. Senior management is absolutely clueless. The company has long since stopped being about technology and is now run by people who have no clue about technology.
