Pros

Grossly understaffed, so everyone picks up big chunk of work People are friendly. Relaxed culture, although outings have dramatically reduced in last few years. Exposed to cutting edge technology.

Cons

Middle management don't take any decisions. Top heavy Reviews are unfair. Money situation always tight...small pie, too many mouths to feed. Money that trickles down to engineers is pennies on the dollar.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
