Pros

- My Department was a great place to be. My team got along well and it was a great place to collaborate and have fun while working very hard (more on that in a minute). - Enjoyed the work. I really did enjoy what I was doing and thought it was helping move the organization in the right direction with clients and potential customers. - Learned a lot from colleagues and coworkers & felt it was growing into something special. - Nice perks like a beautiful workspace, gym, cafeteria/food service.

Cons

- Higher ups wanted to do everything. There are only so many hours in the day and instead of focusing on doing one or two things really well, we had to do it all. - Some Departments were complete messes, leading to unnecessary turmoil in the entire company. - Lack of vision from leadership who are mostly absent. But their offices sure are nice! - A very top/down organization. Sure, they preach 'we're a team' but your voice doesn't go anywhere. - At least 3 Rounds of Layoffs in 2014 show you they cut bait whenever they have to, so don't expect to stick around if the company is hurting. NOTE the above... This also happened a few years back and I have no doubt will happen again - if the company survives. The Titanic was nice too...

Pros

The paid time off is good

Cons

Works employees to death - tons of mandatory overtime required Management does not support employees Yearly bonuses were taken away for monthly bonuses just so the company doesn’t have to pay out bonuses. You cannot make a single mistake because they don’t believe in the fact that humans make mistakes. You will get written up and put on a PIP. No chance to move up in the company, they already have the people that they want and they will pick and choose who to put in what positions. STAY AWAY!
