Pros
- Co-workers, mainly disillusioned or deluded in limited/unavailable/unattainable growth opportunities or just hanging on to build a retirement fund. - PTO; almost four weeks right out of the chute. - Well funded; the best equipment, technology, and resources, although clueless management rarely knows how to best utilize it. - Often pay over 20% over regional average (prepare for personal compromises in exchange).
Cons
- Rampant lack of integrity throughout middle management. They'll lie to you or anyone else and circumvent internal policy or employment/trade regulations at their convenience and your peril; watch for buses in your rear-view. - Clients are sold pure fantasy, and production workers are tasked with delivering to ludicrous supporting metrics after the fact, clients are continually misled through poor communication, comical management, and selling out internal colleagues; examples of highly unprofessional client-facing behavior are a daily occurrence. - Zero IT Architects staffed since September 2015. - System of organizational goal-setting and rational measurement of performance against these goals is not practiced (Systems are deployed, unused); bonuses and merit increases are purely arbitrary. - Nepotism and cronyism is your key to success.
