Pros

Lots of fun, interesting, positive people working in relatively small teams. They're the ignored heart of the company. Products like QuickBooks and Turbotax throw off lots of revenue so they company continues to grow.

Cons

Smiling, insincere leaders who say they're committed to technology and innovation but don't understand what any of that means. Lots of architects who advocate this or that technology, producing lots of slide decks that get them promoted to the next level. But none of it ever happens.

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
