Pros

Cons
- Horrible work/life balance - expect to work long hours on a regular basis! - There is constant reshuffling with the staffing, partly due to unusually high turnover - So much of the work has been outsourced to India - this transition has been rough as the ability of our counterparts really varies. Quality may suffer as a result. - Definite favoritism in the organization - Management ability really varies. Some can be great analysts and consultants, but they may make horrible managers. - Too many new processes that the staff has to learn; innovation is great, but it forces too much change too soon. There is little change management process. - There is a lot of training, but much of it is not substantive - Surprisingly, this company has the worst IT I've ever experienced; everyone has plenty of help desk issues when they start the job, and some new hires don't even get a laptop on day one. (It took me a few months to get mine) - New hires get varying degrees of onboarding (if you're hired off cycle, you're pretty much at a disadvantage)
