Pros

Learned a lot of new skills, including mobile. Training was good. Worked with extremely high quality software developers and QA

Cons

They do not have a good software vision. The management team is all over the place. Very little information is trickled down from the top to the developers. As a result you never know what is going on or where you are headed. Focus and goals and projects are subject to change out from under you, drastically, at literally at any moment. They just don't seem to know what their goal is...

Pros

The products the company makes have the potential to positively impact people across the globe. Some room for mobility both physically (many offices around the world) and career-wise.

Cons

A major lack of resources and a fixation on cutting costs and improving productivity has resulted in an overworked and under-supplied environment. Definitely an old-school company that still thinks spreadsheets can be used for everything.
