This company is in disarray, would strongly recommend looking elsewhere more so if female or minority. Look at profile.

Pros

A few people who are left considered "lowly" by management (PM's on down).

Cons

Pretty much everything at this company is negative. People are treated very poorly. Due to high layoffs (and those who just leave) most people above staff level, and some at are afraid to share information. It is the most back stabbing unethical office I have ever worked. If you truly interview here ask to talk to people in the office or just walk around the tension is very thick. Ask about the turnover rate or how long anyone has been there. You will be hard pressed to find someone over 1yr....
