Turned into a nightmare

Pros

Four weeks of vacation. Some great individuals still left in the company. Small office perks like fruits, candy and Friday breakfast.

Cons

This was a good place still three years ago, but has since turned into a nightmare. Currently key people are leaving in throngs after being thoroughly frustrated with their work. Company is completely aimless with no vision on what to implement and how to get it out. Horribly bureaucratic environment where finger-pointing is common. Lots of individuals who do not collaborate or help in meeting deadlines or targets. Outsourcing development and testing work to India is looking to be a disaster, slowing development even more. Compensation is mediocre and delivering results is not being recognized. Bonus program is a joke and managers retaliate against individuals. Very toxic work environment that has made many employees physically sick.

Pros

Nice people to work with day to day

Cons

Horrible management of a DC based company scattered between England and Denver. No long term planning but bad short term planning. Skilled and needed employees being outsourced. The company looks to have entered the classic death spiral of management failure, layoffs then more failure due to layoffs leading to more layoffs.
