      Pros

      Okay pay, good products but losing quality

      Cons

      Catty upper management with little actual knowledge. Cheapest people i have ever worked for, reflects in the employees they obtain and the customer satisfaction. Almost everyone is unhappy due to huge potential but terrible execution. Company obsesses over analytics to prevent doing actual work.

      Pros

      Some good people, relatively close to my home and after a while, I could work from home. Salary was competitive, not great, but certainly not bad. Nice gym on-site.

      Cons

      Just a horrible place...no clear direction from upper management. I had 4 different bosses in 14 months before they consolidated the dept, eliminated my job and laid me off...best thing that could have happened. Pricing structure for some products was all over the place. Morale was a joke, very high turnover.

      Pros

      You will meet some nice people. It is a opportunity to learn to play "politics".

      Cons

      Culture is terrible. Basically it is like working in a Dilbert cartoon. Lots of pointy haired bosses fill the bloated ranks of management. This company is run by accountants. The irony is that I have never seen such terrible budget management. Regular layoffs to make the numbers. Lots of talk about innovation but they are only interested if its fast and cheap.
