Pros

Some really nice people have been here - a few remain because the job market is tough.

Cons

No work/life balance - work, work, work.,,with no reward. Company under-staffs projects so the execs can get their big bonus checks Poor management style and incompetence is rewarded - while the people who deliver - work nights, weekends, holidays and cannot take vacation. This is a company who does not care about people. If you want to be a number that is easily replaced by another number, you'd like it here. No raises Promise of a bonus is vaporware. If you do get a fraction of your bonus, you're supposed to feel special, after working 60 - 80 hour weeks. This is a sweat shop with a high profile name.
