Pros

Decent salary, mainly because the benefits are so bad.

Cons

Low morale; horrible benefits; leadership only interested in merger; deals are not reviewed properly; no training; processes change on whims. Today they announced no more vacation accrual effective immediately. What you have earned to date must be used by 12/31. This is in addition to announcing mid Feb that we had to use 1 week between 2/15-3/31/16. Trying to remove financial liabilities in time for the layoffs to accompany the merger. Meanwhile, they have been letting people go quietly - most likely to avoid Federally required mass layoff benefits. So, those of us that are still left for the time being try to contact colleagues to get work done, only to have emails bounce back.

Pros

Working from home which is both good and bad, as although convenient they expect 24/7 support because of it for vast majority of roles

Cons

Constant cutting of workforce to meet Wall St expectations. Clients migrating from mega deals of the past resulting in smaller deals if any going forward. No raises 3 years, forced vacations, medical and vacation benefits being cut for current and future employees, and any bonuses a thing of the past for all but C-level. Treat you like a number vs showing commitment to employees. Strategy is all on making the numbers work, regardless of impact to employees or supported customers. Workers feel the pain, and customers don't renew because they sense out cutest al costs bs any sort of commitment. Managent says bear with them as will be better in long run, but after several years of nothing but cuts with no rewards, hard to stay committed.

Pros

Easy going team-members. Well structured. 10 vacation days, 12 sick, and a few local holidays. Good medical plan MAP 401k Working from home policy (for specific areas) Opportunity to learn different technologies

Cons

No clear organization Once you reach the salary ceiling there's no real growth. Everyone shares the same titles even if the job is different. Programmers aren't paid as programmers - underpaid by 40% of market average (and that margin's against entry level - in my years of experience I'm still below the average starting salary when compared to other companies). Puerto Rico - more expensive than most states, at the level of Hawaii so the salary doesn't help.
