Pros

The benefits are great. Lots of company events and parties if you are in the Dallas area. Interesting projects to work on.

Cons

Work experience really depends on project team. Didn't see upper management often except at company events. Really a sink or swim environment where they are quick to terminate,

Pros

nice office, able to complete work when VP is out, good coffee, ample amount of space to work, parking really close to office

Cons

It is all up to the mood of the boss that dictates the day. Mistakes are not allowed when it happens you are talked to like a 3 year old!!
