Pros

Absolutely none, may be a little for benefits

Cons

Layoffs every quarter, morale low, contractors and employees taking advantage of "raise your hand" policy and then becoming contractors immediately

Pros

.... Far far away

Cons

Terrible benefits, terrible management, so siloed that nothing ever gets done. They refuse to make anything better and everything they do is done poorly. If it weren't for being serial acquirers, they wouldn't even make it as a company. They can't get payroll right, benefits right, every last thing that his company does is done terribly as if it were their first day as a business.
