Pros

Good vacation time, beer on friday's in the summer, open seating arrangement, no blocks on the internet.

Cons

Everything else: Terrible Pay. The organization preaches that stock options are given to compensate for bad pay, but options have 5 year vesting period, and analysts get 50 options/year. Once they vest, you need to deposit the cost of the option for 6 months before you can sell - if the stock price goes down in that time period, that's your loss. There is no room for growth, they constantly hire people from other companies to fill promotions. Weekend work is expected in most departments. All internal systems are terrible. Internet doesn't work properly, infrastructure is slow and unreliable.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
