Pros

- People are great! - Fun, relaxed atmosphere. - Flexible work hours depending on your boss. - Offices are in really nice locations in both Troy and Wesltlake Village. - Having this name on your resume packs a punch. - Very good benefits and tuition reimbursement program. - Great 401K matching program!

Cons

- Lots of company-wide job cuts and very often. Always nervous about being on the chopping block. - Expected to do A LOT of work for not as much pay as you deserve. - Managers are not good at having your back. - Favoritism. - Expected to work ALL THE TIME. I've worked at 1am on Fridays and Saturdays before. - Very poor work/life balance. -Little/no room for advancement. They have a saying at J.D. Power that the best way to get a raise at the company is to leave and come back. Not good.

Pros

Great company, great people, good benefits

Cons

Hard to get a promotion. You need a boss that will fight for you to get a promotion. However, if you do a good job it's easy to get 3-5% raise per year. Pay isn't competitive for skills.

On the edge, could go either way, battle with strategic versus tactical

Pros

Good benefits Good people Work life balance reasonable most of the time Genuinely want to improve Some really good challenges ahead and these could help employees with learning new technologies, methodologies and how to work as a team.

Cons

Got caught up in just keeping it running, unless project directly initiated to improve business products, not taken seriously Just starting to focus on upgrading Information Technology Tipping point, important that management looks 5 years out before chosing paths. New technology options becoming available, important to plot business challenges and match strategic technologies to them considering time to market, flexibility to change. Have difficulty admitting to others and to themselves that theres more to meeting technical challenges than purchasing the safe bet technologies. Outsourcing could be their downfall
