Pros

Excellent benefits.

Friendly people.

Open and friendly culture.

Cons

Standards are poor and quality is very low. I feel I have regressed in terms of my skills since joining the company. Anyone outside the US is referred to as "off-shore" and is simply there to do repetitive, boring programming, with no influence or say in how things are done.

Engineers in the US seem to work around the clock and never seem to implement any of the modern best practices that would make their lives easier.

If you are an engineer looking to develop your skills and progress in your career, then joining this company would be a bad move.

Advice to Management

Stop referring to teams outside the US as "off-shore"; it's dismissive. Invest in autonomous, self-empowered teams if you want to beat your competitors and retain staff.
