Pros

On-boarding process is nice, nice hangout events.

Cons

- You constantly get verbally harassed at work, internal communication is a joke. - Information is not shared across departments, especially about company financial health status. - Managers are ill, incompetent and often pick weaker candidates for a job. - Too many vampires sitting around sucking people ideas and act high in needless meetings. - Zero, if not negative chance for self-development.

A great in-between job, don't believe the hype!

Pros

Flexibility, if you make it in the right group you can work as you please or not work at all. The majority are not held accountable for doing actual work, instead they post news articles all day, joke and banter with other non-workers. However, if you are not in the "click" you will be picking up the slack for that select majority. The culture here is more like a popularity contest. You'll do well here even if you have no experience, no work ethic, and if you do not use common sense, as the decision makers of this group does not appreciate professionals and thinkers, only "yes men" to cater their inflated egos. After working here, I've coined the term "slack it til you make it" similar to faking it until you make it. If you wind up here, you'll get my drift. This company is more like a high school or fraternity and that may work for some, but if you have real work experience you'll know this mentality is not flying in the real work force. This is definitely a job you take if you are in between jobs or if you are out of work.

Cons

Read the review from 2014 the Software Engineer who left the review was dead on point about this company, I found everything they said in the past to be true today. That would explain the high attrition rate they suffer.

This is a sinking boat.

They just had a big layoff, which cut about 30% of the staff
