Pros

Interview went well, 80% of the people have been good to work with, nice work/life balance in most regards.

Cons

Once you settle in and think that the company has a direction and a goal then you find out that in reality the place is turning upside down. All employees with the exception of Executive Management did not receive raises for 5plus years, but ETeam got their raise and bonuses every year. Now 401K matching has been cut, but again the CEO got his 5mil bonus this year. Layoffs have increased significantly the past couple of months and the work/life balance is going out the door. There is no opportunity for career growth, no new technology coming into the company, and any opportunities if new technology does come in are given to only a couple of people who run the show behind the smoke and mirrors. The people that stay here only do so because they are insecure in finding another job or take advantage of some managers who are flexible with your work schedule. At least 50% of the group I deal with does less than 3 hours of work per day and the people that go the extra mile are not treated any differently, no pay raise, no incentive to do so other than they do not want to become the stale resources the other people have become because they do not intent to stay with the company and everyone knows you have to keep up your skill level to get a better job. The health insurance continues to change and now we have the worst health insurance I have seen in a mid-size company in 20 years as a Senior Professional. This company offers no benefits that are more than a start-up does and the pay rate is either the same or less, why not take the risk of going to a place where your ideas are encouraged, stock options are available, and you see a future. There is not one person in a group of 50 I work with that is not looking for a new job currently, stability is gone.
