Pros

The only pro that comes to mind is the lead I had when I started working there. She was unbelievably AWESOME. Unfortunately, this company terminated her 1 month after I started as a result of the merger.

Cons

Poor interview process, poor management, poor work environment (too much drama), promises made by management are not kept and the people are RUDE, especially after you leave the company.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
