      Its a decent place to start your career. Do not stay here for more than 2 years.

      Pros

      Good pay. Flexible office hours. 22 days of paid vacation and 10 days of sick leave. If you meet the expectations, the managers are really nice to you.

      Cons

      Absolutely no training provided to fresh grad students. Employees worry about money more than their work. Too much of politics for power. Everyone in the department knows about our compensation and bonus.

      A good company, with too much red tape

      Pros

      The company in general is well run, flexible and provides good opportunity for advancement

      Cons

      The amount of red tape to jump through in order to get anything done sucks the life and energy out of you. As an employee transfered across in an acquisition, with one of the major factors being speed of deployment, I watched as the red tape was wrapped around the company until all were suffocated of any ingenuity. That said it's a huge company and not disimilar, in that respect, to others that I have worked for.
