Pros

Good benefits and work from home policy.

Cons

Few legacy products that still bring in revenue. Company financially is just barely doing okay and new product is not doing good at all due ownership politics and one bad decision after another. Lot of outsourcing, layoffs and no good direction makes it a company that you would think twice before even applying for. Draconian style of management due to extreme politics. During my time I went through three CTOs and three directors. Most of the colleagues left the company for better opportunities.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
