Pros

I like the company's approach toward being honest and being professional. There is a high expectation to be ethical and to do the right thing. The company is very dynamic and there are a lot of projects going on but they are good projects. Overall I have to say this is a company you would want to recommend to a friend or a family member. I really appreciate the Management Team and HR in California.

Cons

None at this time. Overall a great place to work!

Pros

Interview: Well organized and professional. The interviewers asked tough questions and seemed genuinely invested in finding the right person to join their team. Training: This company invests in each new hire and provides the necessary tools and support for success. Other pros: Excellent salary and benefits. This is a company where hard work pays off and expectations are communicated.

Cons

I have no complaints. It's hard to believe the things people have complained about in the negative reviews. For example, I don't see the dress code as a negative. I think it gets people into a professional mindset. It's work - you shouldn't be allowed to dress the same way you would outside of the office. If you're not a team player and hard worker, you won't last long here. And that's how it should be at any job.

Pros

The only pro is the high compensation. High salaries,leveraged with non-compete agreements and the threat of litigation are the only reasons that people stay.

Cons

Everything other than compensation. The company uses whatever leverage they have to coerce vendors, employees and customers to behave appropriately and to "make good decisions". A former executive, upon termination, was quoted as saying "at least I don't have to be an (expletive deleted) anymore!" The good reviews here are highly suspect both in content and tone. Management are master manipulators! They can take a negative, such as forcing employees to give up any semblance of a work/life balance, and phrase it as "the company rewards commitment". Yeah, that means they "own" you 24/7 and you will risk your career if you object for any reason.
