Pros

The other employees are great to work with and a few of the managers actually do care. They always need help so overtime is no problem.

Cons

Low pay for the area. The managers only see what they want to see. There's no follow through with anything. No actions are taken on people who don't follow the rules. Carbon copy yearly review process. Unless you're a "popular kid" with the managers than you're going no where in the company. The managers don't care what you have to say unless your nose is brown. The office area is like a playground; they're always throwing stuff at each other and playing games.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
