Pros

Good technology, benefits are great.0, 9/80 work week is excellent

Cons

Administrative CEO and senior management has no vision - poor manager of people. Most of the engineering departments are under-resourced, stressed and hardly get to take advantage of the every other Friday off (or even weekends at times).

Some good perks but too much reliance on outside consultants

Pros

Every other Friday off. Some great coworkers.

Cons

Some office politics. People vying for power. Recent marketing overhaul was very disheartening. No care for current employees before allowing an outside consulting firm give a song and dance and wiping out part of the work force.
