Pros

Hard work with people that really believe in what they are doing. Beautiful new building. Great pay.

Cons

This is a company that has rapidly gone from a small company and is now heading into major league territory. A lot of people that are in upper management are those who started with the company and most of them have no other work experience than with ATC. They had what it took to get the company to this point, but most of them do not have what it takes to get the company to the next level. It is a very frustrating place to work because no one seems to be able to make real and effective decisions. Senior managers and directors are flighty and can't seem to keep the big picture in mind. I love my co-workers and the interesting work. The pay is excellent, but the stress and fatigue of trying to lead change and getting nowhere is driving me away.

Pros

As others have commented, decent benefits (nothing fancy), flex time is recognized and some folks are pleasant to work with.

Cons

No recognition for folks who actually do the work, at least far and few between. Watch for "idea stealers" as some will take your work and claim as their own. As a "newbie" in your dept. (at least IT anyway) expect to be given the "crap" nobody wants. You may find what you were hired to do may not be "actually" what you "get" to work on.
