Good, Bad, Ugly
Pros: Flexwork, Salary, 401K match, stock options based on performance, good benefits for medical/dental/vision, plenty of different work if you want to move around, not huge pressure to get your work done, but you could not goof off for 2days a week - but just make the deadlines, Most of the team members I had were easy to talk with and had no attitude except a couple,
Cons: Only 3 wks vacation until recently, when they went unlimited (but I'm sure there is a catch!), terrible compute platforms - had to use a self maintained laptop with linux or windows - they did away with the sunrays :-(, sometimes the folks who you needed to talk with seemed just too busy - not a good way to promote teamwork, pathetic upper mgmt responses to major milestones met - single line email response - come on!! many folks worked hard to achieve that and all they get is an ATABOY!, not enough comments in code!!!!  arrrrgh - you would think seasoned sw engineers could do better!, no one, I mean no one hardly uses the phone anymore, its all IM or email - sad, Larry pays more salary to the people racing his Oracle yacht than the highest paid director - shows you where priority is at, but then he can RIF 4000 folks in the blink of an eye.
