Ventajas
My team is the reason I come to work. There are a lot of good people here, and I've been able to learn a lot from many of them. There's also a limited amount of flex-time available, particularly for software types; it's nice to be able to work from home once in a while.
Desventajas
There ARE people at this company who care about the product and about quality. Unfortunately, they aren't the ones who make policy and budget decisions. Because of the shortsighted penny-pinching attitude of some of the family, we are forced to support hardware configurations which are nearly as old as I am. The family has a lock on all the upper management jobs, and to be fair there are a couple of them who are not completely inept. They do all suffer from the delusion that the people who work for them can do anything with nothing and need no more reward than a couple of parties per year. Benefits are mediocre, the holiday and leave schedule is worse, and pay increases don't even keep up with the cost of living. Enjoy your first-year salary; it only goes down from there.
