Pros

Clean environment. Nice break room, but loud. Floors are smooth. Lighting is good. Temperature consistant.

Cons

Upper management does not respect hourly employees. Word is out, numorous vacancies unfilled do to growing reputation of low pay, poor benefits and disrespect from management.

Pros

You get to work on latest technology. Lead architect is great, gives tangible advice. Flexible work schedule depending on the team you work for.

Cons

Basically a Java shop with its own problem like other Web companies that started around early 2000. Technical direction seems to change quite often, I think the company should stick to its gun and follow through in one direction instead of changing it often. Little stingy when it comes to compensation. Lot of attrition due to poor compensation package and lack of job growth mainly.

Pros

Employee discount is pretty good. Opportunity to move in-between groups is definitely a plus, but only if you're a production worker.

Cons

If good enough is as good as you can do, this is the job for you. There is no sense of teamwork between groups.
