Pros

Note: this review pertains specifically to the Denver, CO offices and, more specifically, the Software Engineering department. - Pay is competitive, though not spectacular - Benefits are good

Cons

- No option to work from home - Dress code is business casual (no jeans or T-Shirts), even for developers. - The senior execs for Software Engineering are, by far, the most uninspiring group of people I've ever worked for. They are slow to move, have few people skills and view people as "resources" who can easily be replaced. It's extremely demoralizing - Company continues to add layers to middle management, despite a lack of real value added by these layers. It's primarily Empire-Building by a few execs. - Office space is extremely crowded; most people share cubicles (both contractors and FTE) and the problem is only getting worse. I'm almost certain a couple of buildings exceed Fire Code limitations for occupancy - Favoritism is rampant, with low-performing Directors being promoted to Senior Directors or VPs. - Basically no company culture or company identity.

Pros

Great company to work for. Overall they treat everyone with respect and there is a good work/life balance and everyone seems proud to work there. A ton of people have been working there for 20+ years.

Cons

None really, we were treated decently.
