Pros
•Lots of responsibility for inexperienced college grads •Chance to manage people early in your career •Chance to work with some really smart people
Cons
• Poor feedback from managers • No direction for new employees. Development is hit and miss. If you have a team who is willing to mentor you can learn a lot. Many teams are cutthroat however, and relish chances to throw you under the bus or make you look bad • There is not structure to promotions. They will tell you it is based on performance. It’s not. It is based on how much your site lead is respected and how willing they are to work on your behalf. They do not look at performance or metrics but instead how they feel about you. • Bonuses and raises are haphazard and usually do not come out until April or May • Often hire big talkers who like to boss people around but do very little • Nepotism is rampant. Early promotions, raises and other perks for employees related to upper management
