Pros

I worked there alongside people who had worked for Symantec and Paypal-- they were highly competent. The office was a great workspace--right next to the water and very open. People were friendly, and the there was a lot of collaboration.

Cons

Because the digital engineering office was so new, there was a lot of disorganization during big projects. Also, because a majority of the workers are contractors, people were not always as invested in their work and projects.

Pros

Colleagues were great, perks were excellent, location was wonderful. Compensation was good. Work and life balance.

Cons

Lack of direction from management. Reorganization in every where, every year. The CEO who came from Europe, has no strategy but laying off people to keep balance on the book. Shame on him.

Pros

the people are nice to work with

Cons

No visible leadership; impossible to implement new processes; no direction; they acquired another company we worked for and never took the time to understand that current environment and the value of the employees before they started dismantling the departments and outsourcing offshore.
