      Big IT Shop - with poorly managed staff; REACTIVE and not PROACTIVE approach followed by Management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Great Pay 2. Competitive benefits 3. Free culture - can walk up to any senior management person without hesitancy 4. Decent budgets provided for team-activities every year 5. Cool Office interior

      Cons

      1. Work/Life Balance is a challenge for some roles 2. Implicit hierarchy even within same position titles 3. Career growth not possible within same team, as employees are treated as resource. No structured training apart from soft-skills training available. 4. Model of Implementers and Managers is followed across the board. This leads to gap in terms of setting timelines for projects etc. Lack of transparency. 5. Majority of Managers are based out of developed countries [e.g. US], while most of implementers are based out of developing countries [e.g. India], leading to delay in decision making process due to time-zone differences. 6. Peers seem to be rather incompetent as compared to other workplaces.

      Pros

      Sales people have large base pay. Trips easily expensed. Easy product to sell. Brand recognition.

      Cons

      Only concerned with you knowing the product. No training outside of this. Management calls themselves 'authoritarian' and the culture is "do as I tell you b/c I'm telling you to" and "my way or the highway" (aka "the MSCI way"). This leads to mgmt worrying only about goal achievement and not the satisfaction of employees. The only motivation used is threatening, stifling ingenuity and hindering teamwork.
