Pros

works schedules were flexible. Benefits not bad. People/employees very good. used to be a much better place though. not any more

Cons

Managment is slashing and burning to make the bottom line look better. They get rid of competent, previously loyal employee's, aand replace them with cheap contractors who can't get the job done. They make money in spite of themselves because they are the only game in town. Toss existing archecture aside for the lastest flavor rather then integrating. Also, the knowledge gained there isn't transferable to other occupation. Avoid it at all costs!

Poor management

Pros

A lot of potential in their proprietary products.

Cons

Little integration despite all the talk. The recent restructuring was a major mistake. Too much emphasis on sales, little emphasis on delivery and employees. Cost-cutting without the efficiency. Bottom line is revenue for the investors, little care towards clients and employees. Too much office politics and backstabbing. Unhealthy work culture. Too many managers/ directors, too little execs and support staff makes for a great deal of inefficiency/ inability to deliver on time.
