Pros

- Great compensation package (healthy, dental, and vision) - Very lenient on taking vacation days - Some good talent around - Good team mentality

Cons

- Does not pay as well as other companies and is in the lower range even though they say they are at the higher range. This is false! - Work vs Life balance has gone down hill over the years. To much is expected of you even during off hours - Management has had many restructures over the past few years which hinders growth potential - Company is moving to fast and is spending money in the wrong places. Not with its employees - Company is not investing more into keeping above and beyond talent - Not a long term company to be with due to the above (2 -3 years is perfect)

Pros

My fellow employees are tremendous. They have gone out of their way to be inclusive and adaptable. Lot of company spirit (sometimes too much)

Cons

There are too many meetings that seem prescribed rather than called to address a real issue or problem. Coordination across projects is incredibly heavyweight. Too many meetings (see above) with too many invitees. Where is the focus? Jira, Jira, Jira
