Pros

Work life balance and WHF flexibility; Generally treated with respect; Great people are the norm; Company name recognition

Cons

Outright refusal to be transparent about pay ranges, yet will ask if we believe we are paid fairly compared to our peers; General tolerance for underperformance but incredibly difficult to reward strong performers.

Pros

Good company. Cares for it's people in almost every way except the pay check. All and all a good experience

Cons

Better pay would help retain employees. Limited career growth depending on where you are located -- it you are in one of the centers, like Philadelphia or Oxford, potential is endless. If you are in smaller location, unless you are willing to move, you are limited to working with whatever that site focuses on.

However, we are willing for you to contact us to explain further and understand how we could be of support to you. We want our organization to continue to be a great place for all our people to work, where our employees feel valued and have equal opportunities regardless of where they’re located.
