Pros

Easy place to spend some time while you learn new skills.

Cons

Executive management is unable to make and commit to decisions, resulting in an extremely slow time to market. The are also out of touch with reality, continuing with business as usual and expecting to stay at the top of the market, when in reality competitors are making innovative new products and passing them by. Teams are very cliquey, and HR is a joke. People are scrambling amongst the chaos, while they are simultaneously letting go of people who are highly skilled and actually getting work done. They tout ‘family’ values for the company, when in reality they have horrible family leave, mediocre insurance benefits, and have no hesitation about laying people off in mass, including those on FMLA. The lack of integrity is shameful.
