Pros

A lot of incompetent managers who has no concept of basic business knowledge. As a result, anyone can easily be perceived as talented or smart.

Cons

The environment is all about sucking up to senior management. If you are good at Politics, you will be able to survive even without proper education

Pros

Competitive Pay Flexible Schedule On-site Amenities Easy access to Starbucks

Cons

This company is in the middle of a technology crisis. Extremely limited opportunities for growth. I went on at least a dozen interviews in two years and hardly received any positive response or feedback. I studied Software Engineering while working here, I completed the degree and still had no prospect for career change or growth. The companies process' include electronic documents that will be passed through the digital hands of 8 different people with 8 different roles before resolution is provided (analytic performed by Great-West themselves). The company and seasoned employees provide minimal training, as all employees are swamped beyond belief; the default statement from hiring managers during interviews are "You won't feel comfortable in this position for at least a year". This company is the most stressful organization I have ever worked for. Employees assume it will get better one day, but the company has taken on more work than they can handle, technology wise, and everybody works on a computer.
