Pros

Casual dress, free bagels on Tuesday(Whoopie do) free coffee and nice walking path.

Cons

Where to start. The micro managing is ridiculous. They nit pick and find excuses to put you in various statuses when you make mistakes so you don't get a raise. How dare you be human. Oh and don't talk anyone, be a coding zombie. Sit and code for 8 hours and leave. I was hired to develop, nope after the 90 days of so called training I was put in an area were I had no experience. Boy what a mistake, promised training class, nope. Don't ask questions your bothering people. Make a mistake while trying to learn, that'll go against you. The data migration building is a warehouse, nice working environment. The whole thing was a nightmare. The reviews are based on your failures. You review yourself first then your supervisor counters your review so I guess its best to bash yourself. Also if your not part of the friend circle of your supervisor good luck. Your treated like an outcast and subject to micro managing like you wouldn't believe. Lastly on a company level. On a monthly basis sometimes more they interrupt production with political meetings with the whole staff. Put it in an email and I'll read it. Nope, there goes a half day listening to upper management blabber on and on while you dose off. Then waste tons of money on free food. Save it for bonuses and quit bribing people to show up to these upper management pat on the back sessions. They're all about sales, employees are just sheep there. BEWARE!!!

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
