Pros

Work can be very challenging and fun depending on what team you get into Very laid back culture across the board and you can have an awesome work-life balance Career growth opportunities are ok ok. Very good benefits and 401k plan

Cons

Compensation could be very challenging General image of the company is not that good in the industry and recent layoffs has made it worse Usually no difference in bonus/pay hikes between high and average performers Lot of good people have left. So only few people are remaining and others are new

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.
