Pros

Salary is competitive. Good location. They let people work from home once a week, and overall they seem relatively flexible about people's work schedules.

Cons

Management seems to have zero technical knowledge whatsoever. Almost all of the code is outsourced to CNO India, and is of a very low quality. Almost no quality control mechanisms in place (no code reviews, no documentation, no unit testing, etc). From what I've seen of the code base, it's a miracle that anything works at all. No accountability. No one seems to want to take real technical ownership of problems, I was in bug meetings where it was decided to deliberately ignore problems, or perform lazy obviously incorrect fixes, because they weren't specifically asked to handle it (everything was someone else's problem). Unbelievable bureaucracy. The overhead involved in getting the most trivial things done is outrageous.

Pros

Friendly co works safe work environment may have the opportunity to work from home the actual job you were hired to do is not that difficult

Cons

totally unprofessional work environment incentive is great only if your a new hire cause after that it really depends on who likes you the I believe they make up the #'s as they go along and if someone higher up wants you gone you can be a star employee and you will get written up on any little infraction until your out the door you can be above goal and every area and a little low in one and your on write up this is the worst company I ever worked for.
