Great resources that lack the communication and compensation

Business Outlook

Pros

It's about making a difference in students life and helping them build their professional career through academics, leadership, training and professional development.

Cons

The compensation doesn't compare or even close to other employers who are in academia. There is a lack of communication between the management and employees that can cause issues.

Business Outlook

Pros

I completed the MSIS Program. The program provided some excellent networking and learning opportunities. They were also active in helping students to find jobs.

Cons

I would split the program into specialities, which already seems to be happening. Security and Java coding, for example, were required classes, but they were not useful to me.
