Pros

With the exception of a few,most of the employees are great hard working people. Decent salaries and insurance.

Cons

One of the worst environments I have ever worked in. Always constant drama, and back stabbing from the few usual suspects...Horrible management at this company. The management can be rude, offensive, unprofessional, disrespectful, and very condescending. Most of the management lack people, and positive communication skills to motivate. Some go out of their way to talk down to employees and let them know when they have done something wrong, but never encourage, or speak positive when things are done well....Very cliquish environment were negative opinions are created and formed against people. Sorry to say this, but subtle racism definitely exist within the environment...It was not very hard to tell what was going on. The company sets most new employees up for failure by not training them adequately to do their jobs.... You’re pretty much on your own when it comes to learning, and knowing your job. If you're not part of a clique with management, or the so called right people, you will most likely not get the adequate training you need, or advance within the company, no matter how hard you work. Until the culture and attitudes change, I would strongly suggest to anyone not to work for the company.

Pros

Very reasonable work-life balance. Nice paid time off policy.

Cons

If you have any creativity, this place will zap it out of you. Every project is micro managed and programmers are given no leeway in design decisions. Developers are treated as code monkeys instead of intelligent professionals.

Pros

A chance to learn a lot of different things. Fair salary and benefits. You have your own office.

Cons

You better be prepared to give up your life. It's a revolving door of employees. Don't expect to be here long. You will be expected to do everything without any assistance from day one. A lot of back stabbing and blaming others. Management does not come prepared for design meetings.
