Avantages
Nice and lax environment; people dress nicely but without going into extreme ( no 3 piece suit, no pajamas). Overall it give you a feeling of a solid company; the offices are in a nice area and people overall are really nice. Good salary, benefits and amenities close by. People have often a good attitude; some really talented people, among the workforce, altough they are chained down by the environment that does not cope well with changes
Inconvénients
No offices; it is a pure cube-farm environment, which has the downside of limited privacy and sound/food odor travel fast and without mercy. Management sometimes has troubles to communicate objectives; this trickle down to your manager (which in some case is more clueless than you), making you look really without any sort of meaningful impact. Most of the management pretend to be open and mor modern (Apple or Google style), but in reality they will simply ignore or eliminate whoever could possibly mine their position. Frequently people are let go; usually happens to people that are not willing to work above and beyond their contractual time. A lots of confusion; things get done more than once, and then someone figure out that they have to change again. Mostly, instead of spending time in fixing something; a new product or procedure is implemented, with the result that the issues are mostly delayed to the next breakage.
