Pros

Variety, from the many companies it keeps buying. Some decent benefits. Mixed products, even if the labor to make them is all over the place. Interesting history. But with shaky potential, since competition started catching up.

Cons

Terrible product schedule and no nearby labor to support. All programmers and admins outsourced. Management misleads. Crazy promotions. Hrd to get anything done when the good people are gone. Ones staying are those entitled and paid to do very little while making it seem like they do a lot. Government and Dept of Labor probably should look at this place over the past couple years. Especially New York and Berkeley offices. Some crazy unspervised staff. Jungle ambiance. A lot of politics. Paranoia. Backstabbing. Really bad moods and stressed out groups. Good workers at all levels are leaving for the competition. No real teamwork or consistent results.

It's genuinely good to hear that transparency, culture and the people around you create a positive and supportive work environment
