Pros

Competitive salaries for higher ups. Free lunch at Fulton office. Work from home policy is very liberal. Work-life balance is amazing. No crunch time.

Cons

Underpaid entry-level positions.

Yearly layoffs.

Useless team meetings and talk of financial stuff that's irrelevant to us.

Advice to Management

Less meetings, more creativity, less hard and fast "agile".
