Pros

Very few pros working at this company. If you're lucky and work your ass off, and keep your head down and don't voice your opinions, then maybe you'll get a competitive salary.

Cons

- Their product is bad - On the inside, their system is orders of magnitute worse than their mediocre product - They're overly political. For example, they set deadlines for major projects to be the department head's birthday. New features are decided at the whim of upper management, not because they would improve the product or have a chance at succeding. - All the good engineers leave as soon as they realize what shithole they've trapped themselves in. You have to work with college gradas who don't know any better and those too lazy and too scared to leave.
