Pros

They've acquired lots of other companies and are trying to bring them into their umbrella. I worked with a company they acquired but was hired after the purchase. The management in my location was awesome. The IT guys/girls were awesome. The environment was laid back.

Cons

They brought their off shore team onshore so most of IT isn't American. If you've worked in IT for that long then you know how fun these off shore ventures are. They are highly political, like most of corporate America. They don't care about your skill set they care about you following their rules. While I was there more that 5 skilled white iT guys were fired or left all due to the incompetence of one manager. The manager continues to be protected at the C level because of his ethnicity.

Pros

Great team dynamics, flexible w work/life balance, experienced career growth.

Cons

Too many to list. Executives need to dump the ones w egos and the deadweight. Reporting structures for shared services doesn't work well with different platforms, expectations and defensive personalities. Lots of dead weight middle mgmt and the others overcompensate for them in order to keep it moving forward.

Pros

Decent benefit package. Some good people still remain in spite of all the problems.

Cons

No vision. No planning. Dysfunctional. The company has a culture that turns people into submissive workers who will say yes to management orders even when they know they shouldn't. Years of mismanagement are evident in many areas. There are some many CYA-type of processes the incompetent managers created and they still strongly believe in them.
