Pros

Great work life balance and flexibility Nice benefits & employee perks Internal mobility (lateral) Great office location (FiDi SF) If lucky, you'll end up of on a good team with great peers Looks good on resume

Cons

Unfair/low pay for some high for others Management plays too many games - making false promises for promotion and pay raise with job offers they WILL NOT hold Unexperienced middle management perpetrate poor management style For employees needing sponsorship - they put a hold on my green card application for about 6 months with no explanation Not challenging work, not much learning nor growth No cutting edge technology or industry standard (mostly proprietary stuffs) Depending on the team, people can be very cut-throat Overall this is an environment where people are afraid to take risks because any mistake can and likely will be used against you

Pros

Free snacks, coffee, soda. Work in downtown Indianapolis. Amazing co-workers. Pretty laid back atmosphere. Many different opportunities and projects going on. If you wanted, you could possibly work on a new project every six months to a year (after you've been there long enough and built up relationships with other people/teams). Even though we are way understaffed, they actually have realistic expectations and don't overwork and burn out their employees (which is amazing).

Cons

Things definitely changing after purchase by SalesForce.com. Becoming much more bureaucratic and annoying. Much less mutual respect and trust and much more "top-down" management approach. Before SF purchase, you were a cog in the wheel in the hands of a loving watchmaker. After SF purchase, you are a cog in the wheel on the wrist of an aggrandizing marketing "visionary". Way understaffed. Morale is at an all-time low after purchase.
