Pros

Free snacks Location is ok, a lot of available parking Free breakfast/lunch every now and then Company does very well financially - seems to be stable on that front

Cons

Where to begin? The office in general is quiet and depressing. For being an open office space that is meant to be a collaborative space, you could hear a pin drop. Probably because no on is allowed to have fun, talk amongst themselves. The majority of the team is micromanaged, down to their log in times on their PCs. They are then questioned with their time, why they didn't produce X amount of work and all this. It's ridiculous. Underpaid - squeezing blood out of a stone to get a decent fair market salary from this place and when you do - you're on the chopping block. Outdated technology God forbid you enjoyed the snacks they provided without being accused of stealing. Which consists of pop-tarts and nutrigrain bars, dum dum lollipops and jolly ranchers. A camera was even installed in the break room to monitor this alleged theft! Theres a wonderful game room! Theres a Wii, a mario kart arcade game, play tables but here's part thats the downer - it's all for show. That is there only for the purpose of enticing new employees. Employees are literally afraid of using that room because they'll be questioned about their productivity. On your first day you will be given no onboarding just a "sink or swim" treatment - "just read the Wiki on it" is just about the only help you'll get. So you're left to your own devices on how to figure out their complicated infrastructure and on 59 they'll drop you without warning because at the same time they throw work at you from all angles and expect you to not only figure out their "process", but to complete the work. There is no winning here. There is no HR. They claim there is by their parent company in PA but this office has no accountability given to their management. This is not how to treat employees with this skill set. Or ANY employee for that matter. I had to wait until I left this company (instead of waiting to be fired) in order to write this review because apparently and ALLEGEDLY (gotta use that) they like to hunt down who wrote the disparaging review so they can tar and feather them. Again, i gotta say ALLEGEDLY. Gossiping in rampant Allegedly there are issues with harassment - but of course theres no HR in the Tampa office to investigate.

Pros

There's enough parking and lunch options around the building

Cons

Management does a terrible job with new people and they seems to like to fire them before benefits kick in...being let go on day 59 is the joke around the office. Some departments are treated better than others but most people are micromanaged.
