Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Good company to work for, but no shortage of stress.
Pros: Good package overall (pay + benefits).  Lots of room to move around in the company to explore new teams.  Challenging work and opportunities to learn new technologies.
Cons: Pressure and stress to complete work tasks within schedule is unreasonable. Corporate philosphy is to burn & churn employees until they're no longer able to deliver at the next level.  Nothing 'new' has been created in years, simply taking existing ideas and re-packaging them to make a better mousetrap.
