Pros

The paychecks come on time

Cons

Constant nickel and diming of employees. Are supposed to pay double time and a half for working on holidays. Did not pay double time and a half (for Monday through Friday employees in the field) for the observed holiday of July 3rd because they moved the observed holiday to Saturday for field employees but not corporate employees. They waste millions of dollars on upgrades to facilities that they're going to change anyway because management can't communicate effectively across groups and then nickel and dime employees lunch expenses. If you're high enough level you can do whatever you want, anyone 4 or below will be bullied into being micromanaged.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
