Pros

Smart people, fast moving company. Compensation is stock oriented, so timing plays a role. Very customer oriented and frugal. Great for customers.

Cons

High burn out rate, no measurement of ROI on projects, focus on "buzzword" projects/services which do not generate revenue or profit.

Pros

Stock payouts Good Insurance Raises until you max out in 3 years... @ $16/hr. Challenges every day. Good experience managing large number of associates.

Cons

ZERO work life balance. When requesting time off, I get dirty looks from my managers. Almost no communications between tier 3's and management Almost no recognition from superiors. I find myself training managers who are supposed to be developing me.

Pros

Fast moving, innovative, numbers driven approach to solving all issues with a customer centric focus. There is enough freedom within the company to try new things and you are allowed to run with ideas by the management. You are also allowed to take on responsibilities as you progress.

Cons

The fast pace of change comes with the need the there has to be an extra effort out to keep pace with updates in the company.
