Pros

Overpay to acquire employees, because no one really wants to work here and the good ones inevitably leave.

Cons

I was not going to write a review after I left. I was concerned that I would only sound bitter. Not until I spoke with ex-coworkers, who recently left and were treated horribly, was I willing to come back and write an honest review. Then, I deleted the paragraph-long anecdote and thought it was best to leave it at this: I recommend you go anywhere else if you are an engineer of any discipline who takes pride in their work. Management will force you to concede any standards of quality you may personally hold and demean you for holding them. It appears nothing has changed.

Pros

I don't recall anything that stands out. Every once in a while my director would buy us coffee.

Cons

Unethical management team. The usual setup is to fire salespeople (plural) once a large deal has closed - therefore not having to pay them commission. The particularly nasty aspect is that in order to do this there has to be "cause". So the story becomes the salesperson was a horrible employee. Then they vigorously fight unemployment. The company is disorganized and literally sets it's people up for failure. If you must take a job to pay the bills then this may work. You will have about 8 months.

Some great people, but terrible culture overshadows that.

Pros

Pay was decent. They have a partial 401k match and stock options, if you're brave. There are some nice people working there. There's a gym in the corp office and a caf where a local Italian restaurant brings some pretty tasty salads, chicken parm, etc.

Cons

Literally everything else. Antiquated systems, bonus structure that makes it hard/unlikely to make your full bonus potential. Much of upper management gossips doesn't treat employees with respect. Had mass layoffs that resulted in people being "promoted" with a little extra pay, but actually doing 2 jobs. Culture is hard to explain, but it's not pleasant. Hard to understand how there can be such nice, but still a feeling of doom. I knew on my first day that it just wasn't right, and that feeling stayed until I left. Building is dark and musky.
