No way to advance

Pros

Good vacation, decent salary

Cons

For many there is NO WAY to get promoted, or to transfer to another department. You will most likely be one of the many doing the same job for 20 + years, and then be laid off. There is almost no human resources support! Inmar is full of bullies and the standard response is a remark about how long they have served Inmar.

Pros

Great pay for certain jobs. Although it is a big company, it is always open to innovate with upcoming technologies. Very employee friendly. Beautiful HQ building with spacious working environments. Being a large company, there are a lot of advancement oppertunities.

Cons

Milage may vary - although my department is great, I've heard other department employees having a different experience. All of the networks are now working in the same building, but it still feels like separate companies. This IS being addressed, but the consolidation of knowledge and process still hasn't been completed.

Pros

The office is reasonably nice, for a converted tobacco warehouse. Relaxed dress code. Smart, hard-working rank and file employees. Most project-level managers are pretty good. One of the few companies in the Piedmont Triad of its size where you can work with Open Source technologies and/or the Microsoft stack. Salaries and bonuses are actually pretty good. Generous vacation time. You can pretty much come and go as you please unless you're hourly.

Cons

Where do I start... So disorganized; No direction; Ready. Fire. Aim. C....h....u...r...n. You can't use the front door - you might track in dust. The office furniture is, well, awful. The chair may as well have been an iron maiden for my lower back. The company doesn't know what it is or wants to be. Is it a software development company? A reverse logistics company? A healthcare management company? WHAT? The CEO is about as clueless as they come. He isn't a technologist by any stretch of the imagination. He put things in boxes and sent them places... now he's manning the helm of an accidental software company - riiiiggghhht. This company blows through development dollars and hours with reckless abandon, the likes of which I've only seen at other soul-crushing, wasteful companies like Dell or Cisco. It's nothing to throw away a year or more of development effort because someone whom no one else would hire, namely the CTO, thought it was "stupid", because... well... he said so. Upper management was literally asking people to write positive reviews on this site. Believe it. The new CTO, God bless him, brought in two of his cronies from previous companies, without so much as a courtesy interview, and installed them as directors, over people with FAR MORE seniority and expertise. That's a sure-fire way to alienate your existing workforce by the way. The complete lack of any technical understanding at the C-level or above is just laughable. The laptops and other equipment are absurdly, ridiculously slow, outdated and simply not suitable for software development. Most of the best developers and architects provide their own equipment. Inmar can throw a parade and spend thousands and thousands on worthless all-hands meetings, but they can't get developers decent laptops. After all, it's all about priorities. Architects, Enterprise Architects and anyone else with a title vaguely representative of someone who's supposed to know how to write software is completely ignored. The idiocity of "product owners" and sales people reigns supreme. You'll literally get a feature request that says "Add Facebook". Uh, which part would that be? Deadlines for projects are literally pulled out of thin air by sales people, to you know, motivate those slacker developers to get something done. Those same people, who couldn't even spell HTML are the ones dictating the deadlines, with complete disregard for any sort of educated estimate from those sandbagging devs. The CEO seems to think that somehow the company is poised to be a major player; you know because we have "big data" and "we're in the cloud" and [insert industry buzzword here]. Oy vey. There is zero accountability from anyone at the management level. "Great Teams" is well, not so great. Don't expect them to protect you from the wrongdoings of other employees, or basically do anything else that you would expect from a real human resources department. You simply can't compete with people who have no moral fiber, and will hire their own kid over someone more qualified.
