Pros

Great work recognised with better ratings, bonuses, and hike. Trainings to attend every year. Generous travel allowance. Most new joiners sent to visit Chicago office. Challenging work provided so one can prove their excellence. Great work life balance. American culture. Table tennis at work, Halloween for family and kids, Christmas and new year party...

Cons

More and more work - keeps you in the job and gets you better experience 24 hours on call expected by default - keeps you in the job

Pros

Great benefits and a nice relaxed atmosphere to work in. It is a well respected company and will be good for the cv.

Cons

A lot of people that aren't really skilled in their area! I've taught my manager their job while they're getting paid 20,000 more than me and stealing the credit for my work! Lots of politics to deal with!

Horrific Leadership for a Well Known Name

Pros

Work life balance/PTO. S&P bought unit so we are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Cons

One of the most frustrating organizations I've ever been a part of. Directors don't show up to meetings and don't prepare for anything. There is a total lack of leadership and reinvestment in employees careers. Directors (its really only one bad egg) controls junior managers in such a way that they are terrified to manage their employees properly. A the first instance that an employee shows a desire to move ahead the directors knock them back because they are afraid the employee will potentially move ahead of them because they are far more competent. Apathy is so widespread throughout company that it seems as if the whole operation may fold at any point. Utterly no employee reviews. Zero transparency on compensation rewards and promotions. Truely a disasterous organization that can largely be attributed to one persons power and controlling tendencies.
