Pros

• Rallying ideals regarding desire to help people. • Novel technology/unique learning opportunities. • Decent medical, dental, vision, 401k, lifestyle spending account and other benefits. • Cafeteria offering free lunches to FTEs.

Cons

• Ineffective management that does not listen to employee feedback. • C-Suite that fails to anticipate sales and market trends (stock price, publicly available revenue/profit data reflect this; multiple rounds of layoffs have occurred) • Company values are inconsistent with corporate actions. • Middle management impedes effective decision making and makes work needlessly stressful. • Favoritism is rampant and professional development is no longer a priority. • High stress environment; projects are rushed, prone to scope creep and have little direction from management.
