Pros

Salaries are competitive compared to other area employers. The cost of insurance is reasonable compared to other companies, though there was a time when it was provided free of charge. The stock purchase program provides a means for employees to show a small profit from an otherwise lackluster stock.

Cons

Management's parochial attitude toward employees. CA has some of the finest professionals in the industry, yet they are treated as though they cannot be trusted. The threat of phone calls and computer usage being monitored does not foster a positive attitude among employees. The feeling among many employees is that they are viewed by management as inherently untrustworthy.

Pros

Good exposure to latest technology. The company provides on site day care at most big office locations. Currently the company seems to be growing at a decent rate and the employee morale is getting better. Most managers are understandign and help employees balance a decent work life balance. They also are open to letting employees work from in case of emergency.

Cons

The company vision not shared by employees. The middle management is more technology oriented and not greared towards better leadership. Stock options not given to all employees but only to select employees. There should be better training and awards for excellece in performance. The compensation package is lower than the rest of the industry for similar jobs. There is no centralized method of promoting talent from within the company so as to clearly define career paths. The managers should be responsible to boost employee morale.

Pros

Balance between work and life. CA is understanding of issues that might require flexibility in work hours. CA offers a good vacation package. The overall benefits package is decent compared with other companies (techonology or otherwise).

Cons

The fact that everybody's compensation is reviewed and assessed at the same time when there are individual circumstances that might require an adjustment sooner than the designated time. Low pay raises the past few years even with good performance. Management has taken cost cutting to an extreme. Things that in the whole scheme of things probably didn't cost the company a whole lot have been taken away (i.e. breakfast program).
