Great People...Bad Taste

Pros

I can't say enough positive things about the people I worked with. My Direct Manager was one of the best I have ever worked for. The team I worked with was great and the reason I kept going back every day. If I could have stayed based solely off this, I would have never left. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

Cons

Where to start? HR. Unorganized, unprofessional and a complete joke. Human Resources should be advocates for employees, but instead it feels like they are only there to nitpick and uphold senseless company policies that cause friction amongst team members, tension within departments and frustration overall. Introducing new policies like taking lap tops away from employees who have had them for years, and forcing them to go to desktops. When employees who have had the luxury of working from home no longer have that option, it causes a lot of issues. Policies like policies that weren't policies until you apparently broke that policy and were given a write up for breaking that policy. Exhausting! Sales Leaders with egos that enter a room before they do. How many Vice Presidents does one company need?! Sales people who don't know what they are selling and refuse to admit mistakes, yet expect everyone internally to recreate and reinvent processes to fit their mistakes...the internal people are having fingers pointed at them, "WHY ISN'T THIS RIGHT?!" It's like the Twilight Zone, Groundhog Day. Over and over again. No accountability. No direction. Worst excuse of sales "leadership" I've ever seen in my career! There are a select FEW, and by "few", I mean 4...that are worth anything! The rest? Absolute jokes. If you want to work for a company that pays their internal people less than market and less than what they deserve, to be glorified "babysitters", then this job is for you! If you want to have your creativity stifled and constantly be questioned, then this job is for you! If you're okay with being a hamster in a wheel, or a monkey in a Circus...GO FOR IT! It wasn't for me.

Pros

Lunch/ cafe, somewhat flexible hours--- I really have nothing more to add, but this Pro box requires 20 words. The people that work there, or worked there while I was there (the majority have left) were great people who really wanted learn, make money, and get a jump-start in their careers.

Cons

If you're wanting to get into sales, DO NOT consider this opportunity as your foot in. You'll not only regret your decision, but you'll also leave that door with the most negative outlook on your sales career. You'll be denied 40-80X a day during cold* calls, disrespected by managers, lied to about commission restructures, and sometimes not even paid what you're owed. There's no sense in attempting to climb that corporate ladder because you're just a number-- one that's working to make your boss more money while you sit on $11.50 an hour with a commission statement that's still "up in the air" or "under review". Management, salary, low moral, no opportunity to make money with commission statement, loop holes, no respect from management, no positive reinforcement, NO WAY TO MAKE MONEY... too many to name.

Worst Software Development Environment

Pros

If you are content to coast, and be someplace for years where thee will be no pressure on you to learn new technologies, you're in luck. The benefits are also very affordable.

Cons

Tons of poorly written legacy code. Also they hire contract resources from body shops. Everything requires administrative overhead. Management cares more about administrative processes than proper software engineering. Projects are boring and un-engaging. Parking is also an issue. If you don't come in early, it is very likely you will have to park on grass. The location is terrible traffic-wise. IT management is absolutely clueless when it comes to the technologies they are implementing. Everything is siloed, and nobody has a big picture view of the organization.
