Pros

The more experienced workers there are more than willing to share their experience with the younger generation. Tremendous amount of cooperation between peer groups. Proud history of the company.

Cons

No chance career advancement, just career entrenchment. Wherever you start your career - you'll be there till the bitter end.

Pros

this is a small company with a great startup feel, it's nice to be able to sit in a room with senior management and brain storm software ideas, a really great way to learn a lot about work and the software business. also, the leadership were very committed in training and nurturing new employees but were also respful of their talents. best part is, this is the one company where i saw ZERO micro management. i have greatly missed those days since i moved on to other jobs. also the company invested in training you, be it classes or books, which was great,

Cons

benefits, compensation were really bad. I made a LOT less than other people in my position else where. in addition, the health care was non existence almost. we paid A LOT of premium a month for very low coverage. we had a life insurance policy which was canceled a year into the job. there was no concept of bonuses, once a year at chrismas time we got a sad little basket of fruits and candy, that's it. the raise per yr never went above 2%, for anyone, regardless of performance. this was the number one reason why people left. there were much more lucrative offers elsewhere.

Pros

Pay is decent, workplace is convenient.

Cons

1.) Very expensive health care with very poor coverage compared to other companies. 2.) Management tends to stick around for a very, very long time leading to very little opportunity for career advancement. 3.) Absolutely no college tuition reimbursement, no requirement that its employees pursue any type of education (training or otherwise) to better themselves or the company.
