Pros

- Discounted RTD Pass, Internet and Cable service. - Free Water and Coffee - Free Parking at office

Cons

WORK EXPLOITATION - Work like a "Pumpkin" and get paid in "Peanuts." - To get hike, you need to have experience on paper than possess technical skills. I got an annual hike of $46 per paycheck (Bi-weekly) and $1156 annually. And my manager tries to convince me that it is the best hike he had ever given. To add happiness to that SE1 are not qualified to get any annual bonuses. LONG HOURS - As you were a full-time employee you need to be in office for 9 hours every day. If Oncall, thats an additional work. It is a sin to expect an additional pay for additional work. Shut your mouth and work at midnights or rotated shifts without complaining and without expecting any benefits. 401K and Retirement Plan - They expect you to invest in their shares from the "peanuts" they pay for you. Retirement Plan, you end up paying up to Fidelity if you try to use those funds and are not 60+ years. * Don't ever inquire about the current market pay trends and pay range of your co-workers. It is an err to know about co-workers pay range. Your salary is only based on what you are paid during the time you are hired. You will be paid far less than market wage. And always prefer to be in good looks with your leadership than to work.

Pros

Money. Salary is good. Headquartered in Denver. Location is nice. 20 nice words is tough. Benefits are ok but better elsewhere.

Cons

No work/life balance, no work from home. Treat salaried employees like hourly. If you take half hour for dr appt they will dock you 30 min sick time if you don't work 8+ hours PER DAY. Not 40 per week but 8 per day. If you work 12 hours on a Thursday you are still required to work at least 8 hours on Friday. No organization. After merger hard to get info on policies or networks or who is in charge of what.
