Pros

Some really pleasant, smart, and tolerant people among the employees. An excellent example of how not to run a "technology" business. Profit sharing and 401k. Weird humor among the beaten down employees.

Cons

Open office environment where team members regularly argue. Constant firefighting to fix jinky proprietary software developed in the stone age by employees who did not document anything and are long gone. Constant firefighting to fix applications, programs, and software that were not fully or correctly implemented due to rushed deadlines and management's poor or non-existent understanding of the applications, programs or software. Managers and directors are in a persistent scramble to cover their insecurities and resulting mistakes with deflection and laughable ambiguity. Good employees are used and go unrecognized for their achievements. Communication is terrible and leads to issues and emergency scenarios, which in turn leads to crazy and fiery confrontations between department leads and team members.

Pros

Beer cart on Fridays Some of the worker bees are good people

Cons

This place wants to be a software company but they have no idea how to do it. The powers that be can’t agree about anything. They set arbitrary deadlines and change things repeatedly. Huge features get changed, added, removed. A constant state of chaos. People in charge are rude and condescending. Only take a job here if your desperate.

Pros

The company requires you to do a lot of everything. You do get hands on experience on quite a few different aspects of what your job entails.

Cons

Projects and features developed in the company are never allowed to be fully developed. As soon as projects barely functions you are asked to move on to something else. This results in daily wildfire firefighting of issues that were never resolved. NOTHING is documented. Knowledge is passed across the campfire like some Neanderthal tribe. You're forced to work on a virtual machine that responds like you're on a dial up modem. Expect the text you type to show up eventually on your workstation.
