IT Dysfunctional & Micromanaged

Pros

None. Too many cons to bother with mentioning any minor pros.

Cons

The IT department is micromanaged from the very top. The only person who makes any real decisions is the CTO. No one is empowered to make a decision, let alone think for themselves. They claim to be a technology company, yet they sell information not technology. They "think" they are a technology company because they use the Web to sell their products & services. Yes, they spend (waste) a lot of money on their infrastructure, but that does not make them a technology company. There is absolutely no trust in the company. No matter what level you're at. The executive management thinks they are leaders, but they don't guide or inspire anyone like a true leader does. They dictate at every level. No one is inspired or encouraged to think. Their pre-production software testing is a joke. They rarely put something into production without it causing a problem.

Pros

Great benefits, okay pay. Nice people

Cons

Most of the positive reviews are all people who are either fresh out of college or have never worked someplace else in their careers. They have a strong sense that they are doing everything right and don't look to see what anyone else in the industry is doing. FaceTime is more important than actual results. Everyone here is way too involved in everyone personal lives which stems for going out drinking together pretty much every night. In the last six months I've seen at least 30 people leave. The turnover rate is insane here. There is minimal life work balance and zero flexibility for it.
