Pros

There are free sodas for everyone and candy. Those are way cheaper than providing their employees with decent lunches or healthy drinks. There ARE better drink options in the storage room but those are reserved for the partners. The pay is well BELOW financial industry standard. That's a pro because mo money mo problems.

Cons

If you like being told what your opinion is and what to do and are willing to be a scapegoat when things go wrong. This is the perfect place for you. If you believe the lies that quality MUST suffer in order to get out software in quantity then this is the place for you. If you want to work for less than industry standard in an environment where you are micromanaged. Yes they have that too! If you like to have your good ideas stolen and not being given credit for them, you are just in luck. IT partners and their lackies run the show here. If you like kissing butt then this is the perfect place for you. Just don't voice your own opinion unless you first make sure it's the opinion of one of the partners or their lackies.
