Pros

* Co-workers are really intelligent and fun people to work with. We would all really pull together to get the job done, and teach each other new things as well. * You get a mac book you can use at home and work. * You get free virtual machines to do with as you like. * They do have a weekly paid lunch, but I'd rather have that money put toward salary * You will learn a lot, mostly from your fellow co-workers

Cons

* Pay is not competitive, similar companies like Digital Ocean and Rack Space pay twice as much * PTO is lower than the national average for service workers, and much lower for tech workers * Location is very expensive and there isn't much to do (rent runs ~1200/month, not including utilities) * Poor work/life balance. You are regularly expected to work during your time off * Everything you do is micromanaged which makes being productive difficult * High turnover rate * No work from home opportunities

Pros

Work as much or as little, any hours, choose your own assigments (they'd have to be approved, but had about 75% success rate).

Cons

Was purchased by Akamai and they fired all the writers except one

Pros

Free food and soda, unlimited pto, 2.5x overtime pay, education reimbursement, paid MacBook, paid relocation, housing assistance

Cons

Poor training, punished for leaving office at end of shift improperly without any lockdown procedure training. Reported security concern but fired for not reporting it properly, although it was reported to the security team. Promised promotion after 1 year and management ignored me following up on that. If you work there and leave a bad review on here they threaten your employment unless you remove the review. Mansgement call people sex offenders without proof.
