Pros

Travel - able to travel pretty regularly to see offices all around the country.

Cons

Political view of the company is stated too often for my liking, creates a feeling of being an outsider. Unstructured organization creates more confusion than collaboration. Common to hear conflicting guidance in the span of a few hours. Finger-pointing, not ownership, is the common trait when something goes poorly. Would be nice to see more teamwork across the organization, something that is lacking today. Focus appears to be on product first, partners second, direct employees third.

Pros

Amazing machinery available at Pier 9 and a lot of great people cycling through.

Cons

They created a hostile hierarchy where they keep people as contractors, with no benefits, for as long as possible. In my case they broke they're agreement with me multiple times and payed me even less than interns. Others on the same team will be official employees with a large amount of perks which creates an awkward and obvious separation based on the color of your badge.

Pros

Great benefits, fantastic culture, and amazing products. There is a lot of support for employees to choose their career paths. Management trusts their employees to do the right thing. Lots of training opportunities. Lots of volunteer opportunities and company matching.

Cons

Difficult to increase compensation, especially if you start at a low level. Not all divisions work well together. Technical teams are Agile, but the business is still stuck in old management styles.
