Pros

Flexible schedules, open door policy, good place to learn new skills, and enhance current knowledge. Hard working staff however that can also be a con.

Cons

Benefits are lacking, and there are many very easy ways to improve moral and to increase tenure. The first would be for HR to stop kidding themselves with the gym memberships, and fit bits. No one cares about that. What people want are real benefits. People want time off, competitive salaries, and support services. To start, the number one would be good health insurance, with low costs. Difficult to obtain but not impossible. Additionally, the funds put towards gyms and fitbits could be used to implement a paid family leave policy for the entire company. The CA requirement is a MINIMUM however HR seems to think that its a favor to have 6 weeks partially paid. The key here is FAMILY leave, meaning that if you have a sick parent, spouse, you get sick, or other family member has an issue you need to tend to, you can take time off to care for them. If you have a child, or adopt, you can take time off without the stress of partial pay and very limited time. Paid family leave actually improves the bottom line. It is a proven win-win. Additionally, because many staff have families that are abroad, it would be very helpful to be able to take that time knowing you have to travel very far to reach family, and again, not have the stress of no pay or partial pay.

Pros

My team members are nice and willing to help. Have not worked on any projects yet, but so far so good. I have anticipated that the projects mainly involve data cleaning so I won't complain.

Cons

Salary is not attractive so as the benefits. Different group has different style. Some people can work very late.

Pros

There are absolutely no pros for working there.

Cons

Management is an absolute joke, there is no company culture, salary was far below market and no opportunity for growth. Everything you don't want in a company. If you're reading all of the other bad reviews and wondering... are these true? the answer is yes. STAY AWAY

We obviously missed the mark here, and for that we are sorry, but we will not let this opinion dissuade our ongoing commitment to ensure a mutually beneficial culture and work environment. Our people help take care of us and our clients; we take care of our people.
