Don't be fooled by "Best Place to Work" propoganda -- Not a very nice place work at all!
Pros
* Compensation was decent * Flex-time (though you'll pay for it nights & weekends)
Cons
Where do I start? To begin with, management is not what you would consider "top calibre" -- I wonder if some of them even have degrees. Regardless, the company makes most of its money from 2 or 3 cash-cow products and they jealously guard these sacred cows. Understandable. The problem is that the company really falls on its face encouraging and stimulating innovation. In fact, the company secretly sabotages efforts at innovation from within. Furthermore, all that stifled creative energy gets turned inward into a really nasty political environment. It's one of those companies where every year 5 or 10% of its staff have to be jettisoned. And if you don't know who this year's sacrificial lamb is -- then its YOU.
