Pros

Nice location, generous compensation, some very talented people. There is a lot one can learn about how to do things right and how things should never be done.

Cons

Despite of the fact that company sells technology-based services, the IT department is totally desorganized. Projects are constantly reprioritized from highest priority to lowest, then cancelled. As a result, months can go by without any software releases, only with a few bug fixes. There is no long term strategy. Many decisions are made at the top without any input from the IT engineers, and when these decisions turn out to be wrong, all - top to bottom start fingerpointing at each other. Management believes that in order to make things work they need a whip, not a leadership and a methodology, not an imitation of it. Too much politics, too little work done.

Pros

The development department is full of talents. I've never worked with people with such high expertise in this field. I've learned so much even though I was just there for only a very short period of time before getting laid off. Everyone was very friendly, and professional. The director looks out for his team and he's super friendly. The IT Management is definitely what a developer can ask for, they look out for you, and implements process to protect developers from getting sanctioned by management.

Cons

By far the worst business management I've ever seen. Laid off the whole development department because something was delayed for 6 months. In reality, it's not development that's the issue, but rather QA department that does regression test for every single little case that gets put in. QA here lacks development background, so they take forever to go through test cases. In ideal places, QA are suppose to be automated with just small supervision.They're the whole reason why things got delayed and not development. However, business management are too blind to see that, and decided to switch "platform" from .NET to Linux. They don't even know that the whole platform is built on Windows, including their only revenue item which are the Kiosks. Good luck trying to get Linux onto those things without a single developer member left. They have absolutely no respect for developers. They will let you go without warning or notice just like how the whole development department did. To add to that, they're probably outsourcing to India. Well apparently the first software platform was also built by them, and we ended up trying to patch up their poorly built system. You get what you pay for.

Massive Layoff

Pros

Great compensation and benifits. Toilets that are always backed up.

Cons

After knowing the company was going to switch from a .Net platform to Linux, they continued to hire .Net developers. After hiring four new .Net back-end and front end developers, they call a meeting for the entire development department and lay-off the entire department. Be very cautious about working for this company.
