Pros

A lot of really great, caring people work here. Schedule is flexible and there's a great deal of commitment from employees to seeing the company succeed.

Cons

If you came in with a low salary, it won't change much regardless of how much you do for the company. Those who get paid the least in many cases do the most work - including many nights and weekends. While it's nice to be paid overtime, if you're base salary is low, the money isn't worth it for the amount of time put in.

Pros

CALIBRE does provide a great set of tools and work opportunities that pave the way to good professional development. Hierarchical ladder is clearly shown and quarterly/annual meetings disclose company progress, goals, achievements and areas of improvement. Learning opportunities available for those who take charge. ESOP is a good plus for those who can stand being here for over 5 years.

Cons

Hierarchical ladder is mostly for show as progression through the ranks/positions is not directly tied to performance evaluations, neither is pay. A lot of ruthless competitive attitude among employees (at all levels) but not unusual in mid-size and large companies. "Best Places to Work" surveys are only distributed to key personnel to ensure good reviews. Internal "anonymous" surveys are NOT anonymous.
