Avantages
Bagel Birthdays, ridiculously overpriced steakhouse Christmas party. Yeah, they also have free soda (really, if that makes a difference to you, you are either severely addicted to soda or severely underpaid). Health benefits for the employee are good if you are a single employee, not good for families. Most of the employees are pretty good people.
Inconvénients
Bizarre office culture. Four-to-six old white guys micromanaging everything, they've been there for ages; most of the other staff turns over pretty regularly. Management is fairly paranoid and does not like to let anyone outside their little circle have conversations, form agreements, make decisions, etc. Curiously, the old white guys came from the cellular business and know very little about the industry they are in, even less about their competition and where the market is headed. They seem to come to the office as a place to socialize while day trading. Development is whatever the CTO and founder wants to make when he's not vacationing on the corporate Amex points, and not what customers are asking for or what the market is doing. Marketing is a black hole, example: it took them three years to approve a web site refresh. By the time they approved it, it looked more dated than the old one did! Diversity is not a management priority, nor is listening to their clients, employees, any kind of market research in general, or new ideas. Religion in the workplace, however, is a big thing. They had not one but two chaplains while I was there: a man and a woman. The male chaplain only talked to men and the female chaplain only talked to women. You're supposed to talk to the same-gender chaplain if you're bothered by something as a "neutral party" to talk to, but what if I was feeling postal or suicidal or something and only the opposite-gender chaplain happened to be there? It's more important that the sexes not mix than that I get help? And why does god have to be involved, can you not just get an employee assistance plan and leave your religion out of it? Customers also complained about the preaching at the beginning of every reseller conference, which was always held in the same rooms of the same hotel. Serious aversion to change. Couple more oddities: if you like to work late, be prepared to hear the national anthem over the PA system at 6pm every night. No one knows exactly why this is done. They celebrate Christmas from Halloween through the Super Bowl, including music and a lit tree in the office (that once nearly crushed a receptionist's hand). That got old FAST. You're expected to march down to the CEO's office to say goodbye each evening as well, a guy who also drives a ridiculously oversized SUV with custom rapper bling (yes, really; insert inadequacy joke of your preference here). This place already has a reputation in the industry as being at the bottom of the food chain, but if you plan to stay in document management be prepared to be the butt of some jokes when people find out that you worked here!
