Pros

You will love this company if you are working on a critical product of the company.

Benefits are insane:

  • $600 gym membership reimbursement.
  • $1.25 401K contribution for every $1 up to $10K per annum.

The company is great for people who are interested in working on big data problems, rapid application development (using Python and Node.js), and traditional J2EE applications.

Cons

Horrible re-org strategy which hinders productivity.

Company's leaders make bad decisions which forces re-organization with layoffs every year.

Too many internal budget cuts just to make Wall Street happy.

No job security as it is almost 100% guaranteed you will be booted out of the company if you are working for a product in the company which does not generate enough revenue.

There is no work-life balance if you are working on a critical product.

Advice to Management

Hire passionate and honest people in higher and middle management.
