Pros

Casual environment with free snacks and coffee. Variety of "big name" clients to work with. Awesome people to work with. You get to travel, which can sometimes be a bad thing. Occasional catered lunches and BBQ's. Decent health benefits.

Cons

If you are looking to grow your career, stay far away. Anything you do at this company is specific to TV broadcasting only. There isn't much you can learn here to take with you on your career. You will basically be doing a subset of VBScript that is very limited and only applies to the Viz graphics engine. There is no formal training for this. Don't let management fool you and fill your head when they say you should be "privileged" to be able to work with these big name clients. As a software engineer, other jobs could care less what clients you worked for. They want to know what work you actually did for them. Which, for this company, will more than likely not apply elsewhere. Save yourself the time and find a job that will teach you real world skills. Any other skills you can learn here, you will have to teach yourself.

Pros

Very talented group of professionals with a vast knowledge of the broadcast industry specific to sports graphics. Awesome opportunity to learn from the best and learn new technologies almost before they come to the vast market.

Cons

No training department, sink or swim environment. Probably fairly common when it comes to the technology field.

Pros

Working with ESPN, NFLN and other known television sport networks

Cons

Upper Management are always looking for a reason to bring down the moral. Non of the upper management staff have college degrees, and if you do have one.... good luck growing at RCS. They will always look for reasons. They will try to micro-manage you all day. To an extent of not being able to drink beverages (they are only for clients). Two weeks ago it was brought to our attention that we are not allowed add negative reviews on glassdoor! Really? That's just a bit too much outside my comfort zone!
