Pros

The company is great for self-driven employees. If you can take a task and run with it, you will succeed. The company prides itself on providing many services for the employees to do things on their own.

Cons

There needs to be more support in the work/life balance area for the engineers. A lot of the people seem to be there just because they need a job, not because they really enjoy the atmosphere.
