Pros

Work life balance.. unless there's a release. In which case you can expect to work overtime daily + weekends.

Cons

Micro management all around with no regards for technical growth. No consideration for employees career growth/learning curve. Only thing that matters is mechanical deliverables.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. Disappointing to read that you did not feel you had the freedom to manage yourself and your workload. I can see you worked in Whippany so I will pass on your comments so we can learn from them.
