Pros

Place is great if you can land on a good project. They are using some of the newest and most revolutionary technologies out there, sometimes out of real thought off decisions made by talented architects, some other times out of the ability to buy anything because of their deep pockets.

Cons

Place is not so great if you end up in one of the legacy support or Application support teams (App Opps). These teams issue a "duty phone" which you have to answer at any time of day, including weekends. You're not really compensated for extra hours put into this phone, because the managers will make you feel guilty about it.

Pros

Pay is competitive. You get a free cruise.

Cons

The culture here was ok, though not the best. Now with a VERY strict 9-5 policy, the entire company is feeling the grip of the execs. No exceptions for anyone who has a doctors appointment or needs to pick up a kid or adjust their hours slightly to get through life. Many employees have to work extra hours, travel across the world, and work based on other time zones due to projects spanning across the world. No matter, 9-5 or pack your things. Execs are demanding more control, they seem to forget that they placed their office all the way in the traffic zoo of the Port of Miami. No one is happy and now you can hardly get out of the port at a decent time. Would have loved to see some execs and vps fight against this but it seems they only care about protecting themselves, and Mr Liberty is having his way. I hope he enjoys this act of control as it is making his employees miserable. Expect high turn over soon or layoffs, or both. Many of the small benefits have been rolled back without any announcement (food discounts, commuter discounts) without any notice. We have lost the plot, we are selling vacations, not saving lives.
