--Benefits are extremely weak:
1) only 1 health insurance plan to choose from and only contribute half of total costs, making it very expensive for individual and even more expensive for families, most employees rely on their spouses for insurance if they have the choice
2) 30 minute lunch - it is the first tech company out of many I have worked for that limits lunch hour to half an hour, employees should not be treated like they are in kindergarten, kindergarteners get a longer lunch?
3) no flexible spending account, no short term/long term insurance, no paternity/maternity leave, 401K does not match, vacation policy is just 2 weeks and need to be there for quite some time to get more, no tuition reimbursement; weight loss benefits are included by the health plan and gym is in the complex/building (not extras)
--Departments/cubicles are very close together making it very noisy at times to concentrate or when speaking on the phone
--Free snacks are great except that most are twinkies and donuts or potato chips/junk food, do get sugary fruits like bananas and oranges at times but still most are very unhealthy junk food
-- if you are not part of a team, don't expect orientation to the company or product offering, you're expected to be fully contributing from day 1 or 2 with little initial guidance/tips but expected to have known what you weren't told to deliver or meet deadlines
--Not all but most management staff lacks in-depth management experience in leading particular departments
--Upper management is friendly but generally not conducive to suggestions and lacks non-technical leadership experience compared to other C-level management I have worked with in the past
