It is an odd place

Pros

Flexible work hours are nice, gym on location, and generally well qualified people. Telecommuting is encouraged

Cons

I watched good hardworking people get pushed out by poor management. I noticed that you can do nothing all day in your lonely office, but if you are see as wasting time by occasionally talking to co-workers that is frowned upon. It was like solitary confinement for 8 hrs a day. There is way too much entrenchment in management, so there is no pathway to move forward. The organization has a really odd reporting structure too, a person can have 2 or 4 or more people who you report up to, but for a company in the thousands the HR department is extremely small.
