Pros

- Office is nice and has a great cafe - Some people you meet and work with here are great and very smart

Cons

- Very toxic work place (verbal for example) - Work-life balance is nonexistent (strongly encourage to eat lunch at your desk is just the tip of the iceberg example) - Absolutely no WFH policy (unless you want to WFH after you leave the office after working hours which is also encouraged) - Pay is way below standards especially for software development - With two weeks left in 2017 they cut everyone's stock bonuses and refused to pay them out for that year (unless you were upper management and above) that was 20% of my compensation package which was COMBINED already below industry standard - Career path was defined some finally in 2016 but its mainly for show - small bumps in pay and a better title with tons more work! - Hiring here is a joke now - grab college grads who barely know what they are doing so they don't have to pay them much - as a senior developer I ended up training new people every 6 months to a year because of this strategy - almost no new people stayed very long - Turnover is huge - on my team alone I saw MANY existing co-workers leave and many more who were hired/left in my 3 years - on a team that maxed out at around a dozen people. This seemed to be a trend in many departments near mine - The stress, toxic environment, no work-life balance, and constant abuse over my years here did a lot of damage to my physical and mental health - I can not recommend to anyone that they work here! There are many good places to work in Atlanta - this is NOT one of them!

Pros

Some friendly and helpful coworkers. 401k with 6% match offered. Advertises unlimited sick days to bebused for personal and family health reasons. Pretty standard pto package.

Cons

Where to start? Beware of the offer. Basically,"some" positions are bait and switch, with the intention of being solely hired as a punching bag. This place has zero documentation with even fewer knowlegeable resources. Yes, the salary is high but it comes with a heavy price tag. If you're looking for daily humiliation and a healthy dose of passive aggressiveness, this is the place for you!

Pros

There are a few good people left to work with, not much else though unless you count free soda and coffee.

Cons

Low base pay, no work from home, arrogance abounds, middle management act in a dictatorial fashion blocking everyone else from communicating up or down the chain, unwilling to spend money when needed, no real perks for employees
