Pros

-Great people -Excellent on premise services -Laid back culture

Cons

-Too many people enter through the Junior Rotation Program and are elevated to senior positions way before they should be. They do not often possess strategic or technical excellence. -Office location is not near mass transit. -We reorganized 4 times plus a division merger in less than 2 years. It is hard to accomplish anything when your workflow is constantly in question or just halted due to shifting priorities. -Company lacks the ability to continue to grow relative to it's vision. -Visibility matters more than the quality of your work.

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
