Pros

Excellent people to work with. Challenging job assignments. You get to work with a lot of modern technology

Cons

Management is brutal towards employees. Yearly layoffs that are random cuts no matter how good you are ( e.g. really good developer was promoted one month, laid off two months later) Very cheap company ( e.g. no budget for training / education, laptop upgrade only every 5 years) Very short term vision for management focus on expense reduction ( e.g. Hardware is not provided to test software because it is too expensive) Pay and benefits are below average.
