Pros

First off, Great location of HQ. Manhattan, NY. Software technology stack is ok, Nothing great or Wow about it.

Cons

* Really old school of thought with Senior management. Remember these people have been with the company since it was founded in 1975. Average tenure I have seen is 15+ years. Which is a good thing, but very bad for the product. The developers and product managers have no idea what goes on in the real world. * Product stack seriously needs maturity and infusion of new technology thoughts. * Limited growth and compensation. One advice - negotiate as much upfront during the offer. * No information sharing amongst peers

Pros

The company is relaxed and friendly.

Cons

Way too Top Heavy and Terribly 'in-bred' It seems they hire complete families, and then management ends up looking after each others kids and playing favorites instead of managing the business.
