Pros

- work/life balance - competitive compensation - relaxed work environment - benefits - intelligent and friendly coworkers - funded team events - good software development processes - great technology products (hardware/software)

Cons

- needs better resource management processes (ie. enforced time tracking), to make better business decisions - many poor decisions made by senior management, without consequences - marketing / sales teams need to perform better (quality products is there)

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
