Pros

Work place resources, Friendly HRs, Cool CEO.

Cons

Management is not what I had expected, and they don't know what to do with the college grads they hire and assign crappy work. Pretty much same with every guy they've hired. The technology being used is age old compared to the other companies. If you want to learn anything other than business domain, then you should probably choose some other offer. But I believe that the trend might change in a few years as they're hiring more and more young people.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
