Amazing team of developers/engineers. But not enough recognition in terms of value nor respect. Very hierarchical.
Pros
Life inside the developers/programming team is the bomb. This particular team has come a long way and created a culture comparable to that of a start up. Perhaps a good place to start for a first job but not for the long run.
Cons
I'll be honest. Programmers and software engineers are at the bottom of food chain for this company. Kind of backwards when you compare that to any other company in the tech industry. Lower than standard pay. Expect long hours (at least 50 per week) and no "tangible" benefits or acknowledgement from the company if you're a programmer/coder other than a pat in the back. Note: programmers are one of the only ones that don't share in the profits in forms of bonuses or compensation for milestones being smashed, company goals being met. Think about it when you analyze how much real effort/brain power goes into a project. Project = 5% Sales + 15% Design + 20% Client management + 60% Coding (at least 60%). Work life balance is also off for those in the coding/programming teams as well as most programmers stay late and work for "free" under pressure to finish projects
