Pros

- The people that you work with are good people. - No dress-code.

Cons

- Management expects you to work well past 5PM and sometimes over the weekend all without overtime pay. - Below market average salary; annual pay raise is about 3% to 4% (if there is one). - Very limited career advancement opportunity unless you are on the "right" team or report to the "right" person.

Pros

Decent salaries once as long as you do not look at your wages as on a per hour worked basis. Also you do get a chance to work with a variety of tools.

Cons

Some of the worst management one could find in a 100 million dollar + company. The failure of management exists on every level up to and including the executive staff who can not even bother to come by a remote office when they are in the area. Local managers play the game of, who to put on a PIP this week. No one is safe unless you are in the favored group of the month. It is so bad that someone who may have just been promoted or received a merit raise, could be on a PIP a month later. Of course that same PIP may not have any measurable metrics as part of it, and if you are truly lucky, you will be allowed to train your replacement as you try to improve. The phrase penny wise and dollar foolish as been completely missed by this company as the investment group pulls the strings. They will fly the entire management group across country for a week of meetings (including the admin), but can not spare the change for sodas or water in the office, that used to be provided but it was then decided that they could not afford such an expense. It is so bad that they will not even pay $10 to keep the lights on past 6pm. If you are looking to come aboard as an individual contributor, be ready to work 60+ hours a week as standard and be sold out at a moments notice if your salary gets to high.
