Not a good place to work at

Pros

flexible hours, nice team members

Cons

Stay away from this company. They lay off people constantly. When the business goals are not met, which is all the time, they let people go to cut expense quickly so it will look better on the balance sheet. Not the right way to improve performance.

A short term focused organization.

Pros

- International culture and scale - Business Model (captive clients, comfortable revenue...)

Cons

- Pure finance approach (annual redundancy plan), - No employee focus (no recognition, no career plans, no consistant performance review), - No customer focus (only politics), - Too much politics. Examples of this: - Senior management spending time in internal politics and so ignoring both clients and employees. - Frequent redundancy plans (and mass hiring right before and right after). - High pressure and workload with lots of unpaid overtime several months before project closure (and success), no reward whatsoever in the end (just getting fired because project was delivered on time for annual redundancy plan...). - Individual layoff of experienced people as soon as they face a personal issue.

Formerly great company has gone downhill fast

Pros

Location is close to home. Salaries are pretty good. Many long-time employees are wonderful co-workers with great knowledge and provide great service. Occasional telecommuting allowed by some managers, but not all.

Cons

Terrible management at all levels! Company goals are all very short-term. They only care about cost-cutting with no concern for quality or retaining knowledgeable, valuable employees. Example: in IT, approximately 80-90 percent of very experienced and knowledgeable staff were laid off and replaced with less experienced workers with lower salaries. Many jobs were shifted to other countries or states.
