Pros

Good Benefits, Co-workers are nice.

Cons

No decisions are made without having to go through ton meetings and even then no one has the authority to make any sort of decision. It just goes up the chain to a black hole.

Pros

Very difficult to get fired. You can basically show up and do very little and the longer you stay, you’ll get promoted. But if you outshine, instead of being rewarded, you get punished for it.

Cons

Lack of strong leadership at upper management, no drive and direction. Leadership team has their own private agendas that don’t align with visions. Current technology is ColdFusion which holds the young development teams back from being innovative. The user experience of the software is horrible and unusable. Customers pay to be trained on how to use the applications. That’s right you read this correctly. Not a safe environment to work in. I could keep going but you get the jist.

Decent company, outdated product

Pros

-Most of the people I dealt with were pleasant and hardworking. -Benefits are better than most places out there. -Company makes an effort to improve the office environment via fitness clubs and other types of fun activities. -Upper management is usually pretty transparent and approachable. -Company is modest in terms of its growth strategy which I found to be a breath of fresh air.

Cons

-The core product is buggy and outdated despite efforts to update the UI to a flashier new version. Attempts to have internal development teams fix bugs usually fell flat. Several senior team members left during my tenure due to a growing sense of frustration that upper management wasn't receptive to advice or critical feedback. - Most of the management team has been with the company for 15+ years which is both good and bad. While most of the management team was decent enough to work with, my direct report was not. There was a feeling amongst my team that my manager was 'untouchable' due to the amount of time he's invested. His overbearing and overly-critical management style is ultimately what pushed me out the door.
