Pros

For executives, they have a "take as you need" vacation policy with no set amount of time. And it appears that some people actually do take advantage of this. Also, their HQ buildings in both Durham and Reading are very nice.

Cons

Very poor on boarding, virtually no process. Difficult for an "outsider" to learn the in's and out's of what's needed to succeed. Otherwise, the company is completely over-processed, so much so that it's difficult to get any work done. Colleagues will stab you in the back. Senior management demands are completely unrealistic. The CEO is a clueless consultant that doesn't know how to actually run a business. Really tough, painful place to work. Lot's of unhappy campers who smile on the surface, but underneath are seething.

Pros

The team was great to work with and the general work environment was hard to beat

Cons

It felt like sales and upper management completely dropped the ball with our product. We had what could have been a large success in the market but we were too ignored to really push ourselves towards new customers. Pretty much the whole team was laid off as a result.
