Pros

They had great benefits in the beginning of the company start up.

Cons

They don't want you to be there longer then 10 years or so. If you are they get rid of you. So there is no opportunity for longevity with them.

Pros

-Working with really great people. -Flexible with time.

Cons

-Massive Micro-management. -Zero autonomy. -Employee evaluations are used as a stick to beat you with rather then a tool to enhance productivity or achieve personal goals. -Not enough Project Management staff which contributes to massive individual workloads and employees regularly taking work home.
