Pros

Growing company with a great reputation behind its name. Very innovative and always looking at ways to make process better. Always searching for new talent. Uses business principles and concepts in everything they do. In short, looks great on your resume. They try to take care of the hourly associates.

Cons

Long hours. They change their shifts whenever business needs dictate; but you are at their mercy if they decide to put you on the new shift whether you like it or not. Some of the new talent that's brought in dont have any leadership experience or inter-personal skills. 401K plan is crap. You have to wait years before you can get the full match. No one really looks out for the managers.

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.
