Pros

Most people are friendly depending on the department. Depending on who you know, you will be allowed to move up in the company. Very understanding about work-2-life needs when it comes to scheduling and/or working from home. You can learn a lot about technology. No traffic to deal with at the location. Huge property and easy parking.

Cons

Inter-departmental communication is minimal. Raises are small. Some managers care more about profits than employees. Few mistakes are allowed.

Pros

-I gained a great deal of experience working in this position. -The team I worked on was like a second family, and I very much enjoyed the camaraderie.

Cons

-Even my supervisor didn't know what I did on a day to day basis. -The company threw around money on acquisitions and new VPs, but the average employee was not fairly compensated. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I had my first yearly review, and I was told I had only been working for 10 months and was ineligible for a raise because I was shy of being there for a year. This came after a glowing review, and I had already received a certificate signed by the CEO congratulating me on my first year. -The turnover was atrocious. In my first year, 50% of my team was turned over. To compound the matter, I was still treated like I didn't know what I was doing a year after I was hired. That being said, I was trusted to provide a significant amount of training to several new employees. The respect was so bad that my first supervisor was demoted and we were told that it was organic growth. -The infighting between departments is terrible. The project managers do not know much about data or technology, but have no problem demanding the impossible or impractical. The scope creep got so bad that any custom solution we provided to one client was expected of every project that followed. -The workload was very poorly managed. Some weeks I would be working on 3 or more projects while trying to provide help to the new hires, and other weeks I would be scrambling to find work.
