Pros

Good managers, smart people and a self management style while working remote. 401k matching is finally in place, and a half decent compensation plan.

Cons

Benefits are getting worse, especially after the merger. There is no longer a mobile phone discount. They used to pay remote consultants a monthly mobile and internet stipend- they literally cut that amount in half and now call it a "telecom stipend". They claim to have a "per diem" policy, but that is untrue 99% of the time. Many of the advertised benefits on this site are no longer active, or are almost impossible to get.

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
