Pros

Used to be family culture. Used to have work life. Now their are no pros.

Cons

Below average pay (well below). Leadership is horrible and leaders seem to come from other areas and know whats best. Leaders DO NOT listen to employees and do not care about their employees. I was there almost 10 years and saw no promotion from within. Majority of Senior developers and leaders came form other companies and jump right into management roles. Work life is a joke! What used to be a great place changed and it is such a shame.
