Pros

Aside from knowledge of a few employees, there's few pros working for UM. Some of the projects are technically challenging but the implementation, planning and rigor is non existent in projects. The major benefit is WFH and working patter flexibility

Cons

Without a doubt, the worst employer I've had the misfortune to work for. Stuck in a time warp (old style mgmt with blame culture within projects), no investment in employees, mandated to work and book solely to projects so no training, R&D nor development. Tools and processes are archaic with no documentation so reliant on the old timers knowledge. Poor range of benefits. Constant churn of staff says it all and I can't wait till I leave.

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.
