      Pros

      They treat you like an adult - no drug test for employment or promotions (thank you Level3 in Colorado) When the office is actually open it's pretty nice

      Cons

      VPs push aggressively for new products, leading to extremely tight deadlines and a lot of miscommunications and mishaps in development & deployment Generally stressful environment Not even remotely agile but their marketing says otherwise Unpaid overtime is pretty common

      Pros

      Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

      Cons

      Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
