Pros

Co-located engineering, good salary, flexible schedule. The individuals in the trenches all seem very well intentioned and skilled. Some internal promising technology. Not much dead weight in the engineering team compared with outer large companies I've worked at.

Cons

Not a "get things done" culture- it mostly attribute this to a very conservative management stye. No risk taking, slow to adopt new ideas and new trends. Strategy consists of "more of the same". Some key executives are micromanagers. Too bad, some of the teams are very talented and could just "makes things happen" if not straddled with such a burdensome management culture.

Pros

These people will cut your job due to financial issues but what they don't say is that if you have been given a promotion, raise, or other increase in your financial standing is how you will be cut from the team. Just stay away from this toxic company and it's toxic behavior. You will never be secure with a raise or promotion. They are crap.

Cons

Everything is horrible here and you should stay away.
