Pros

- Good health insurance and benefits - Company is continuing to grow in the tough ecomnomy - Reasonable salary compensation

Cons

- Terrible HR support - Company is growing too fast to keep up with itself and there is a lack of good company structure and management - Bad communication between departments - only time I heard from some departments was when they were pointing the finger at something gone wrong - Expectation to work late and outside of normal office hours - No team building within individual departments or between departments - feels like an environment of 'each man to his own' - Didn't get annual reviews or exit interview - felt like no-one in management ever cared that I worked there

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
