Pros
  • Great company benefits
  • Beautiful campus
  • Commissary and Starbucks on-site
  • Great holiday perks
  • Decent work-life balance
  • Great mentors, highly skilled
  • Ergonomic desks / sit-stand desks
  • Great internship program
Cons
  • Deadlines are always missed, which makes for a bad culture.
  • People are a hit or miss, so it’s hard to make true and transparent friendships. The people there really come in a full range from bitter and rude to the kindest and sweetest, but that may be the case with other companies as well.
  • Competitive culture but non-competitive pay.
  • Growth within the company is slow or doesn’t happen at all.
  • Very traditional and corporate still.
Advice to Management
  • Try to be on the side of your people sometimes instead of backing them into a corner by having them agree to unreasonable deadlines after given estimates.
  • A better and more transparent promotion cycle and process.
  • Quickly fix understaffing by adding more people instead of adding longer hours to current committed employees.
