Pros

Interesting work. Good people. Reasonable pay.

Cons

They kept purchasing companies and making everything worse for the people who were there already. The benefits got worse and worse. They laid off a bunch of our maintenance people and never replaced them. Then, because there weren't enough people to fix them, the tools kept being down and eventually they killed our project. Seems that the head of our site should have been let go instead of the over 150 employees.

Pros

Exposure to major markets. Good experience. Many kind people.

Cons

Prepare to work 55 hours per week. Late night calls regular. Company only cares about its revenue this quarter. Management colleagues are mostly white men in their 50’s who play golf. Cliquey. Everyone has been there for 20 years.
