      Boring corporate environment but with significant plusses

      Pros

      I haven't dealt with much drama among employees. Projects are well managed. People are nice. They have a good code base, which is not bad to work in. They have good benefits, plenty of PTO, and a generous work from home policy. They keep up to date with technology.

      Cons

      Because of various security measures, my computer runs very slowly. I literally spend more time building and deploying my code than I do programming. There are a lot of meetings. The work is not very challenging. While working there I've only written a couple of cool things, and I elected to do them. Most of the work is pretty cut-n-paste. People are a little too professional, and it is boring to work there. The security measures create frustrating technical challenges. They have recently been laying people off and I worry that the good times are ending.

      Pros

      Absolutely the best benefits package I've ever heard of...even better than the military or police and fire departments! Lot's of opportunities to have a solid work/life balance. Outstanding salary ranges. People are awesome yet most people are fairly sheltered due to constant turn-over.

      Cons

      Serious lack of inter-departmental communication. Serious lack of documentation. Company is constantly going through re-organization so there's always a concern for lay-offs. Poor management decision making (at least in the department I was in) and they don't seem to know what they want employees to do from day to day. Job description postings are seldom accurate for what you would actually be required to perform. Management doesn't like it when an employee out-performs his/her superiors. Company doesn't really look for people to be innovative...they would prefer employees to be grouped in a box....no movement or reward for ingenuity, creativity, or thinking outside of the box. Extremely focused on cost savings to the point the company will forego important investments in CRM, reporting tools, and other technologies necessary to carry the company into the next generation of growth. Also, it's a relatively small company so movement (depending on which department you're in) can be slow or negligible. Many good employees have left because there's no room to grow upward.
