Cons

- Oncall is a nightmare. - some cross department communication problems - unnecessary "drama" - Parking! ( I've not been employed by FD for a while, so my comments may be outdated )

Poorly run, small company provides no job security

Pros

They pay great money to lure you in

Cons

They take all your knowledge and competitive intel and treat you as a temporary investment. After you have performed, they cut costs and you are let go for some random reason. Lots of promises of stock options and going public with no intent on IPO; it's how they lure top leadership talent. Be careful and when the warning bells go off and you realize they have always fired way too many people in top positions, run! All the positive reviews are reviews established by the company and not real employees. They monitor these boards and post accordingly to offset all the poor reviews. Be careful!
