Pros

This is a great company with great products and people. They are forward thinking and wisely use technology to enhance the business. There is a good work/ life balance and in general it is a fun, challenging place to work.

Cons

We are our own worst enemy. Our project time lines are too short but the time to get a critical decision is too long. Also, departments are fairly siloed and there is very little promotion from one area into another. Communication has improved between departments, but it still suffers.

Pros

Excellent benefits and 401k matching, as well as paid time off. On site workout facility and track, as well as wellness program make for extra perks.

Cons

Room for advancement sometimes dependent on how you mingle with management rather than based strictly on performance. Too many lazy people get by without being held accountable.
