Great starting job, but slow to change

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great job to learn how to grow to the industry you are working in. Co-workers are great to work with

Cons

Slow to change; invoking change to make the business process better can be difficult, but not impossible. To many purchased apps and not much new development.

Great place to work at

Delivery systems planning engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good place to start a career. People are very friendly and the culture is very lively. Your schedule is usually very flexible and management is very lay-back.

Cons

Promotion is very slow and turn over ratio is high. Their rotation program is not fixed and some processes are slow or mediocre.

Not a Place for Technical People

Senior analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary and benefits but no longer exceptional after all the cutback since 2008.

Cons

Technical people (anyone with the word "analyst" in their job title) are viewed by management as interchangeable and disposable, regardless of education level, experience or quality of work produced. If you're a technical person who takes pride in your work this is not the company for you. Promotions are 100% political and work experience and performance are meaningless. And being a diverse candidate may get you interviewed and hired but doesn't mean you'll be treated well afterward. I've seen both black and gay people treated very badly despite the constant messages of "we welcome diversity" from HR.
