Don't waste your time

Pros

A few good people you may work with.

Cons

Draconian leadership style, backstabbing of team members, high stress, overworked, ridiculous amounts of work with grossly unfair deadlines. They will lie to your face, or withhold important I formation, in the job interview and after your employed there. They make up excuses to keep you there. You have to substantiate your time on all projects...similar to billable hours. Though your salary exempt, they watch your every movement even if you already have given 40 hours towards working projects and the week isn't finished. Managers are more concerned about how they are perceived by upper management for their own future promotion to an executive position. Salary employees are not compensated for their time. 37 1/2 hour work week is not true; you will average 45-55 hours per week, or more on a regular basis. If you don't subscribe to their demands, you'll be dinged on your reviews. They go through, what they call, corporate restructuring every 6 to 12 months. They revamp their job position titles and pay scale every 2 years. You can start as a consultant and be reduced to an analyst; a step down the ladder that will effect your resume for future positions. They want 200% of you, but will feed you bread crumbs for you efforts and alot of empty promises. Class action employment wage and hour lawsuit just waiting to happen.

Pros

Decent pay, but not for the required work hours. Good insurance.

Cons

Manager on call 24/7. No home life allowed. Took away the only perks, such as working from home. No bonuses in 2016. No raises, unless 2% is considered a raise. Mental health and marriage are at risk.
