Pros

Company has slowly come together over the years and is a great place to learn about software if you've never done it before. Lots of different ways you can make a difference. Overall, a solid place to work.

Cons

Used to be a very easy going office where marketing had the freedom to do their own thing, but is now much stuffier, less company culture than in years past. Still a good place, but test automation is getting trickier to charge customers for, so there have been scattered layoffs here and there.
