Pros

Hours are fairly flexible, some great people to work with, goal setting is encouraged (required actually), pay is decent and benefits are ok.

Cons

The company laid off 66 employees in July 2014 with no notice and offered only 4 weeks of severance pay to people who had worked there more than 10 years. Half of those laid off were age 50 or over. Positions were "eliminated" but weeks later other people were moved into those positions that supposedly didn't exist anymore. Employees were required to attend an annual All Team Retreat and perform an impromptu skit on stage in front of the whole company. There were many other forced "culture" activities that are too numerous and ridiculous to mention here. It is not a normal work environment.

Pros

It’s mildly relaxed and I like my direct boss.

Cons

They expect you to bend over backwards and ‘do whatever it takes’ (I.e. pick up ‘other skills’ to make their company work) without compensation. They’ll let you go in an instant but expect you to give your life/accessibility to the job. Working here has been really frustrating for me and the people who’ve been here for a long time are burnt out. There is a very clique-mean-girl attitude all over the building and whole of course some are nice…it’s just pretty toxic overall.
