Pros
Healthcare benefits are decent, as are 401k match and amount of vacation.
Cons
Work life balance is terrible. I was working 60+ hour weeks for the first 6 months I was employed. When I refused to work more than 50 hours without comp time I was blacklisted from being promoted or transferring teams. Upper management is living in the past, and believe IT people are a dime a dozen. The CEO spent the Q and A session of the last town hall insulting the entire staff by saying things like employees "don't understand basic economics" in response to a request for vacation time to accrue from year to year. Some basics: *Vacation/PTO will not be paid out when you leave the company (they consider it a "gift) and does not carry over from year to year *You are strongly discouraged from WFH during normal business hours (but can expect to have 20+ hours of WFH after hours) [Official policy is no WFH, but your manager may vary] *You will be indirectly punished for asking questions of HR about corporate policies, and can easily be blacklisted from promotion or transferring teams by a malicious manager. *Expect to regularly work weekends and holidays. *Expect your team to have high turnover and be short staffed, as IT people are treated as expendable, and the company's secret to success is growing as fast as they can (and outgrowing their IT infrastructure)
