Senior Management (mis-management)

Pros

When you start it's a lot of fun and everybody is very nice and they tried to do some shallow surface things like parties.

Cons

Severe disconnect between all levels of management. PMs put unnecessary levels of pressure and stress on their teams, presumably because they receive the same from above them. The CEO/Owner is a nice man, but the senior management team he has chosen are not the greatest and care only about the bottom line, and don't care to listen to explanations when things don't go their way, instead preferring to lay blame

Pros

Nothing good about this place! If you are reading this, see the value in yourself before joining a company that could care less about you, with bad/careless management, and bad team members! The job is not stable either. They do a lot lay offs as well. People are so unprofessional at this company that it's disgusting. The different teams don't want to assist one another, they are rude, they gossip, and are extremely unprofessional. I would not choose this job.

Cons

Was a Production Support Analyst. Training and Management are horrible. People don’t like helping people. Management is all in it for themselves and they could care less about their employees. The recruiter is extremely misleading about the position. The pay is horrible. People from other teams/departments look down at Production Support team as if they are incompetent even though they work harder than ANY OTHER department , are under paid, and not treated well. This job is not stable. They laid off lots of people who helped build FEi , were experts at what they did, laid off people from different teams.

Great place to start, not so much for anything else

Pros

As a junior, you get a decent amount of support from your direct supervisor. The company tries to do nice things for the company from time to time, such as picnics, dinners, lunches and happy hour celebrations. They have purchased training licenses for some junior and mid level employees, but only if you a) come up with a curriculum for yourself, and b) finish that curriculum mostly outside of work on your own (unbillable) time, or risk losing the license due to "inactivity."

Cons

Massive disconnect between all levels of management. PMs put unnecessary levels of pressure and stress on their teams, presumably because they receive the same from above them. The CEO is a wonderful man, but the management team he has chosen are not the greatest and care only about the bottom line, and don't care to listen to explanations when things don't go their way, instead preferring to lay blame.
