Pros

Chilled out CEO. Office infrastructure is very good. Free lunch. Strategic location. Supportive co-workers (though I've interacted with very few)

Cons

No flexi timing. No clear understanding of the job. Lack of managerial expertise and management people. Total focus on technology. Very few leaves. HR policies archaic and not that employee friendly.

Pros

Free Food and Casual Dress Code.

Cons

Management is horrible. Employees are clickish, talked to my manager twice in a month and she really could not be bothered with me. The team I was assigned to was mad that Ebates went outside the click to hire me and was given little to no guidance on my actual position. Instead of learning my job, I had to learn all customer service and spend 10 minutes a day trying to learn my actual job. However, the "team" didn't want anything to do with it and half assed the training. I finally had enough and walked out. The also jack you around with pay as well. I was supposed to be salary and wound up being hourly at a lower rate then originally agreed upon. Would have told them to bug off sooner but I needed a job. Stay away from this place!!!
