Pros

Challenging work, constant pushing for perfection, good team culture (for the most part). Excellent work life balance.

Cons

Set in their ways and anything anyone says outside of it is laughed at. Ideas aren't taken into account unless upper management had it first. Set on using tech because "big people use it so it must be good." Below average pay Unwillingness to hire people Would rather stick to their "perfect beings" than expand it, thus causing little hiring, and bulk loads on developers. Guidance is "I want to use this technology cause Netflix uses it, figure out how." Not, "This is the challenge, find the best solution and why" Direct managers are good people, directors are caught in their own cloud.

Pros

interesting work, great co-workers. the average developer is a cut above many places i've worked. if a prospective employer reads this, then they should know that the TS staff is really smart and creative.

Cons

management was directionless often chasing a new gizmo while neglecting core functionality. they have a new ceo with whom i've worked - he's ok, but... one of the old-boys. we'll see how he does.

Pros

I worked at the CR office. The environment was friendly, we had good facilities and flexible schedules. The work/life balance was good. Good salary.

Cons

The internal IT management was kind of political and it was almost a form of bureaucracy. There was not a lot of room for suggestions or proactive behavior. A lot of changes have happened recently and this may not be longer the case.
