Pros

Not to be ungracious, but I can't really think of anything good to say. I worked in the Pasadena office in the early days and while the staff and management were generally pleasant to work with, ineffective people were promoted to key positions with disastrous results.

Cons

Many bad hiring decisions. Ineffective leadership. Serious organizational issues. Company culture was often adversarial, pitting one office against another, individual against individual. I called it a culture of blame and devoid of any personal responsibility. Threatening and hostile work environment. The co-CEO and later only CEO, Peter Stevenson, who was more an operations guy and sales guy, lacked the leadership skills to motivate and inspire people, instead he intimidated people with threats of termination. While a moderately gifted orator, he lacked the ability to engage with people on a one on one basis and strangely had a hard time looking you in the eye.

Pros

The guys that actually do the work on the floor; the backbone, the artists, are a wonderful bunch! Such a shame they are treated the way they are, they all deserve so much more.

Cons

Awful place! Degrading, demoralizing and management do nothing (read: don't care!) It's all about getting the last drop of blood out of the stone while keeping you under thumb and afraid. Ruled by tyrants!!

Pros

Talented staff who are the unsung heroes keeping the company afloat. Bagel Fridays. Free pop.

Cons

They will ask you to sign a non-compete. There is no training program to speak of and no support. You will be handed work and be expected to complete it. If you ask any questions regarding proprietary software or pipeline you will be seen as clueless. They will not trust you with any work after that. Management from top to bottom are completely incompetent. They are dishonest and will flat out lie when directly asked a question. They will not deal with conflict or get involved unless it directly affects the bottom line of the company. When they do get involved they take no time to understand the underlying issues and will apply band-aid fixes to the symptoms. They then conclude they have done a fantastic job and that all issues company-wide are fixed. There is no follow-up to check the effectiveness of their "fixes". There is a massive disconnect between what management thinks the employees do and what they actually do all day. I have heard the phrase "button monkey" thrown around more than once by management in an absolutely serious fashion. Reviews process and compensation are subjective and obscure. There is no transparency with regard to who makes the decisions. Compensation discussion beforehand is non existent, they just hand you a piece of paper with your final numbers on it. You don't like the number? That's fine. Just leave. Their view is you are expendable anyway. Culture is non-existent and not viewed as important by management.
