Pros

New hires begin with 3 weeks of paid time per year. Work schedules are generally flexible. Requests for vacation time are rarely denied. On site fitness center (gym) with good assortment of equipment.

Cons

The company now mandates that 1 of the 3 weeks of paid time off given per year is used during an office closure between Christmas and New Year's. Medical benefits are decent, but outrageously expensive, nearly $100 per person every two weeks. Bonuses have been essentially reduced pennies on the dollar. Management does not promote from within. Management will perform large scale reduction in force layoffs with zero notice to employees. There has been an significant uptick in outsourcing development and testing; most new positions with the company are in China. Heavy investment on upper and middle management, no domestic investment in engineering staff.
