Pros

Only benefits, oh and also if you like privacy for taking naps on the job, taking excessively long lunches and being able to get away with doing nothing like most people here.

Cons

Senior/upper management all need to be fired. There should be a review of all management each year by employees. You’d find out why the turnover rate is sitting at 33%(30+ people quit this year..so far). How we’ve lost so many key players and they don’t rehire. They will roll their job over to you(with no additional pay!). Should make people wonder why so many people are quitting.. ah I know! Extremely low pay! Getting super overloaded with work-then telling your bosses and they do.. guess what.. NOTHING...but give you more work :)!

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
