Pros

The only true "pro" are the exceptional people you work with, for as long as they can hold out or get replaced by a cheaper offshore alternative. Little niceties such as free coffee, soda, and 'spirit events' are supposed to make you feel valued. Unlimited DTO is there, if your manager will let you use it. Insurance - HDHP $4000 deductible for employee & spouse.

Cons

Anyone that leaves or is let go is replaced offshore (India) - there are very very few development area jobs available in the US, even customer support is being pushed there; the time zone, education and language barriers make it extremely difficult to be productive or put out quality work. Internal processes are developed and pushed without regard for the team or product needs or input, lack of testing and little to no notice - basically it's - here's a new process, use it. And process change is never ending. Reviews - unless you go WAY over and above, you are 'average'. Bonuses - previous year's bonus isn't provided until end of March. Being professional doesn't count for anything - giving notice 2 weeks prior to the bonus nullifies your receipt of it, even when you've provided a huge amount of knowledge transfer prior to departure. You're better off keeping your mouth shut, getting the bonus, and quitting on the spot. They say they 'value their employees', but that's as truthful as saying they care about their customer service. They simply suck at both. The bottom line is all that matters. I guess that's what happens when you're owned by 2 vulture capital companies.

Pros

The company is huge with lot of sub divisions because they acquire all the time. Latest tech and skills

Cons

Since I was part of the Acquired company, they kept the salary very low and I tried to remind them about my position and compensation a few times that give me what my position deserves , I was laid off in 2 days despite of great performance. Lay off happened as part of quarterly but in heart I knew I was not going to be a part of that if I did not ask for raise. not treated well at all. My position was remote.
