Pros

There are some good people there. But they usually leave quickly.

Cons

Draconian executive management. Strategy that changes by the minute. Cro-Magnon Marketing and Sales tactics. Low pay. No advancement. Yeah.

Comfortable but unrewarding experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salaries. Comprehensive benefits package (though the health insurance co-pays and deductibles are high)

Cons

Lack of investment in training and development of senior non-management employees. Limited visibility, inclusion and advancement opportunity from within. Absence of standardization of technology stack results in unnecessary effort and cost to build "one off" solutions. Inconsistent application of policies (e.g., telecommuting). Accountability for employee results needs to be consistent.
