Pros

Smart people, free lunch twice a week

Cons

While salaries feel in line, overall comp and benefits are not. PTO and healthcare are poor. Don't look for good paternity or maternity leave or anything for adoptive parents. You won't find it here. Executive management seesaw on goals in a way that would be funny if it weren't so upsetting for all the people who really want to see projects to the end. (Focus more old shoring up old products! No! Focus on these new products! No! Focus on acquisitions!)

Pros

Good pay and Lower Management is excellent

Cons

Senior Management is unchanging, harsh, narrow minded and in my opinion lazy. They constantly move your quota based upon their personal whims and needs. They also micromanage and will grill you on every little thing they disagree with in your approach.
