Pros

Good salary. Awesome bonuses. Management that manages but stays out of the way of productivity. The IT department is very fast about getting you the resources you need. As with any company, there is some BS. But here, it's very manageable and a very acceptable trade-off for the general awesomeness of the place. Management is very open to trying and using new technology. SXM is not a software company, per se, but I feel like the company has a much better understanding of what software guys like me do and how important it is to their business. They seem to have the mindset of a small company without the scarcity of resources usually seen in smaller companies.

Cons

IT department higher-ups seem to like to dictate policy without knowing or caring how it impacts developers, especially those who have to work with embedded hardware. This very common in the industry, though, and for the most part, you can still get your job done. The selection of medical benefits could be better.

Pros

Great work place with fun people

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is that most people start as part-time employees. Given the current state of the radio industry, there isn't much room for raises or upward mobility. In many cases, the only way to advance is to wait for someone else to leave so that a full-time position becomes available.
