Pros

Fun environment. Some of the supervisors are really great. The pay is decent.

Cons

If you want to do something other than customer service, you better have atleast Bachelor's degree better if you have an MBA. No matter the the customers don't speak that language.

Frustrating, given management changes and overall turmoil

Staff software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ideas win, data wins, people are exceedingly friendly, the entire organization seems to be rowing in the same direction. The culture is almost deceptively open--you get the feeling at first that you'll be able to change the company in big ways, and everyone listens to you. The compensation was extremely competitive, particularly the RSUs, given the trajectory of the stock as of late

Cons

They haven't been able to figure out how to integrate Quality into the Engineering process yet. Even though people are open to new things, the skill of the average engineer within the organization is much lower than at any high tech company I've been exposed to. It often seems like they have 10 mediocre people working where one really good person would do better. The code is so convoluted, so deeply coupled, so disastrously unreadable, It is difficult to imagine how they can implement features at all

Pros

1. Excellent work life balance. 2. You can leave at 6 PM and be done for the day. 3. Flexible work hours. 4. Frequent parties for employees keeps the morale up.

Cons

1. Too much red tape. 2. Salary lower than market rates for the same position. I mean fairly low, really low.
