Pros

Flexible hours.

You are able to make your own hours once you've proven yourself.

Compensation is above average, but work-life balance is great. They're not tied up on any red tape either.

Outstanding corporate citizen – best in class. Can't say enough about this, and it starts from the top.

Cons

It used to be that we didn't pay a dime for healthcare, but now there are out-of-pocket expenses.

Perks are not up to par with the rest of the software giants, such as free food, massages, and maternity leave.

Advice to Management

Free espresso and food goes a long way. Apart from that, keep up the good work!
