Pros

Be an investor and buy their stock. You will get more benefit as an investor than as an employee, I see this now that I'm on both sides of the fence.

Cons

Cheap . Always cutting, they've gone as far as lowering the requirements for certain positions in order to pay less.

Pros

Good place to gain experience but I would not stay more than 3-5 years. Benefits are good. Salary ranges have not changed since the company started. Once you make it to a certain level, you never get another raise. It is almost impossible to get promoted. They might give you a new position but it's usually at the same salary.

Cons

They set goals that are unrealistic and unattainable. Part of the problem was because management has no idea how much time it takes to perform a job. My position required me to stay until 6-6:30pm every night, come in on weekends and to work on holidays, just to keep my head above water.

Pros

They pay you moderately well in line with industry standards

Cons

Ethically bankrupt, nepostic management, they define "innovation" as buying other technology. They call themselves a science company but there rarely is actual science done. The company prides itself on having a "innovative" culture yet understaffs, cuts employees each year, and barely gives you enough resources to complete projects. Add to this their cumbersome documentation system that looks like it straight out of windows 95, their archaic project timeline layout sessionss, and their ambigiuous instructions on how to actually document things and you are left with a company that only survives because it is so rich at this point it just buys up the competition, slaps its label on it and calls it "science." What a joke.
