Pros

Most of the people you'll work with are smart. Lots of hiring has been going on recently in an attempt to properly staff some projects that have been understaffed for months or years.

Cons

Everything about this company is on the decline. Compensation, especially stock compensation, has fallen dramatically, both for new hires and for retention grants with existing employees. The quality of the cafe food and IT support has been declining, the number of social engagements with other employees has been cut to zero (not even a formal holiday party last year), and this is all concurrent with a rising number of projects and customer commitments. Those who have been there are trying to find their way out and the new ones coming in don't have a good reference point for how good this company used to be.

Pros

they pay well for interns, but certain depts (wont be specific... its kind of a standard in this line of work anyway) can be a little tedious. they have a good gym, basketball court, general on site facilities. cutting edge state of the art equipment to work with -- i appreciated this alot when i was an intern.

Cons

job security. not much else.
