Pros

Great bunch of people to work with, flexible work environment, work-life balance, a ton of education, and good exposure to technology.

Cons

Not what it used to be. Slow innovator. Hardly any recognition for hard work. Management is happy to keep you where you are.

The company seems to be run by HR and sales. 50-55 hours become the norm to get an average rating. You can sign your life away, but you won't get an excellent rating just because there is not enough quota.

Advice to Management

Take more interest to guide, motivate, and create leaders. Recognize people for their hard work.
