Pros

* If you like "challenging" and don't have a life- this place is for you. * Projects are great and most of the time there is so much pressure you can get away with adding your input.

Cons

* This place is a real drag on your health, confidence and personal life. * You can like it for being a real challenge but be prepared to hate what you love doing. * Half of the people don't know what they are doing, which makes it difficult to work and express yourself as a real professional. * Your chat logs are being scanned and read by live personnel and your managers in real time. Security cameras are all over and management is known to abuse such resources. * Full-time employees get run down and pressured to work 50-80 hours on the weekly basis. People start to smoke, get fat and start loosing hair 2 months into the job. The place is really stressful.
