Pros

Not many to speak off. Good 401k match. Although takes 4 years to grow.

Cons

Top heavy. They have hired way too managers lately. They tend to bring in their own people rather than letting existing employees grow. People are mostly coasting here. Bonuses are not competitive and does not recognize excellence. People at higher level dont understand or care about technology as long as projects are half baked and executed in shortest time possible.
