Pros

In my experience, management was great; they seemed genuinely interested in my development and what I wanted to do.

A lot of smart people here.

Work environment was pretty relaxed, but it really depends on what group you work in.

They do well to treat interns like new hires.

Cons

Overall, a very slow-moving company. Training was slow to start, and expectations/goals were not very clear. Perhaps there was too much complacency all around.

Advice to Management

Take advantage of young energy and ambition.

Take the time to train your new hires/interns. Most of them want to work, but you need to give them the tools first.
