Pros

- Good Medical, Dental, Vision benefits for now (will be getting worst) - Free on-site gym

Cons

- Projects are severely understaffed, resulting in engineers working very long hours. - No work/life balance. - Promotions are slow or nonexistent. - Management is useless and clueless. Will commit engineers to impossible deadlines without consulting the engineers. - Benefits are getting worst due to cost cutting. - Too many unnecessary meetings. Engineers waste their time in these meetings and do not have enough time to get the real work done.
