Pros

my managers were helpful and supportive. salary was decent. good work environment overall.

Cons

They rescinded my offer months after I accepted it due to “lack of funding”. Now I’m about to graduate and have to scramble to find a job after most new grad positions have already been filled. If you’re a new grad, know that signing their offer letter means nothing to them. Accept their offer and keep interviewing and then jump ship if you get something better. They deserve it.

Bait & Switch

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Steady employment / not a lot of layoffs Somewhat flexible schedule Every other Friday off

Cons

Most jobs are bait & switch — no one on my team thought they would be doing the work they are doing. I hear the same from other groups. I have applied and interviewed for 4 different roles here and each role had completely different tasks/assignments/responsibilities than what was discussed and or posted on the job listing. Access and equipment issues are constant problems. Either you don’t have (working) equipment, the software, the software licenses to do what you need to do or you don’t have the access/permissions to do what you need to do. By the time all of this is sorted out, the task is over/dumped and it’s on to a new task with these same issues. Bottle necking of work — many people with little to do or are waiting on data to go forward. See people online all day or talking / not busy. Then there are a few people who the work bottlenecks through and they are always swamped and work crazy hours. Poor communication — upper level will know it needs certain info or tasks done weeks ahead of time and won’t mention it until a week or even sometimes a day or two before it’s due, then mention it. After people work / stay late, holidays, weekends trying to complete something they should have had weeks to do, the results are trashed or not looked at and this happens a lot.
