Not a place for engineers, too many unwanted managers

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice pay, good 401K , new office place.

Cons

Worst place for engineers to work , too many manager heads trying to micro manage you. You will be compared and asked work three times more than your peer from offshore because you are from high cost center !!! They will appreciate your work during project cycle and may be even try to promote you, reward you. once majority work is done they will start comparing you with offshore peers and ask if you are contributing three or four times more

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing to really talk about

Cons

Management is really bad. They consider the employee as a number in excel. No growth. Mostly allocated non-development works. They never keep their promise. Always they back out when you come up with any needs.
