Terrible Atmosphere and Management

Anonymous employee

Pros

Salaries are comparable to Industry.

Cons

You need to be in the click with your Manager to get any recognition or assistance. Like being back in Grade School or High School. There is very little Mentoring offered. Everyone wants to do their own thing and worry about themselves. No team playing at all. Total lack of leadership from Management. Management technique is from the 19th Century

Don't do it.

Pros

Looks good on your resume. Possible to gain technical depth in a particular area.

Cons

Be prepared for obscene hours (60-80 hours/week with minimal pay and mandatory "free" overtime. If you are a new employee, you will be treated like garbage by those senior to you.

Pros

Looks great on a resume due to its wide-spread brand recognition, lots of opportunity to work on high-pressure projects, great training in too-large bureaucracies and all the issues endemic to large-scale cultural rot from the inside

Cons

Executive and Corporate management is self-absorbed with their personal reputation and selfish recognition, not necessarily what is right or good for customers. Corporate truisms like "We are training future leaders" belies strong cultural age bias
