Pros

People there are very nice up front. There are a lot of coffee breaks.

Cons

Way too bureaucratic. I spent two days of every week putting together a 30 page report and presentation of what I worked on for the other 3 days. Everyone's time is pretty much spent answering to higher ups. Typical corporate culture. There is no such thing as work life balance. If you don't stay there until 11 pm overnight, you are considered lazy. Oh, and don't even think about leaving before your boss. God forbid he'll notice and immediately scold you for being lazy.

Great Benefits and pay.. but 80+ hours a week

Pros

No doubt they are a huge company with money to throw around. The benefits are great.

Cons

Expect to be thrown a million things all at once on a salary job and you will have 80 hour weeks sometimes. Basically a south korean company whom disregards labor laws. So your 45k-55k a year job really is half that because you work twice the hours for that pay. The work life balance despite all the time off doesn't work because then when your back from vacation you have 3x more work to catchup with time lost. Your doing work reports all night and manager calls you after normal business hours asking for information. They entrap their employees as well and i will be seeking legal action for the overtime not paid and abuse of labor laws in Florida.
