Pros

Discount, opportunity to learn about different types of technology, opportunity to see new technology before the general public, employee accommodations

Cons

Incompetent management, promotions often based on interpersonal relationships rather than merit, management will pawn responsibilities on employees without properly training them, employees are forced to do work that is meant for leadership team members without being promoted and given a raise

Pros

Decent Product discounts, only really good discounts on house brands. Mostly fun people to work with.

Cons

Promotions are given out to people who socialize with management the best, not the best applicant for the promotion or most experienced.
