Pros

Free food and snacks to encourage you to stay in the office and eat at your desk. The people are wonderful.

Cons

The software is extremely dated and obsolete. It takes forever for them to accept new ideas and take steps forward. All managers micro manage, it’s in their culture. Problems trickle down to individual contributors when there is nothing they can do about it. A majority of individual contributors are young, and eager to please which causes hyper competitiveness across the company which in turn causes an extremely high turnover rate. Sales people who act like engineers and even lie about previous engineering experience, who promise things that are impossible to deliver. Granted this is because they don’t understand the complexity of the work.
