Meh. Good place to work to get into the industry...but overall, no place you really want to stay at IMO.

Pros

Great culture among coworkers. Laid back. Overall, the customer-support oriented of the company works generally very well.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy (more so than normal). Extremely inefficient management model (get ready to report to about 5 different managers and 5 OTHER VPs). The internally-focused portion of the company (note this does NOT apply to the customer-facing portion of the company) has the worst track record of success and efficiency that I can think of. (I am primarily talking about internal development as that is the area that I work in)
