Pros

Good chances to work on many product lines. Good medical benefits. Opportunity to learn many technologies. Good for starters.

Cons

The performance review is a virus for this company. 10% are constantly kicked out every year.

There are too limited views for people who want to grow.

Many devs need to work over 50 hours to survive, or they drop to the 10% category, believe it or not.

Advice to Management

Where is work-life balance?
