Pros

I have nothing to say here. All said under cons.

Cons

Terrible place to work. Horrible benefits, almost no leave, they make you work two saturdays a year to get a couple days off in December, instead of just giving you the vacation days as a benefit. No work / life balance. Company could not care less if you are spending all your nights and weekends putting in extra time to get the job done - in fact its encouraged.

Business Outlook

Pros

The work is challenging and my coworkers are very sharp and nice to be around. My immediate supervisor is very hands-off and laid back. We worked with some of the latest technologies including Java 8 and JavaFX.

Cons

There is some office/building rearrangements and improvements going on. In the process, I would scrap the badge-out system. Badging-in to a building is fine, but badging-out sucks.
