Pros

The pay is slightly above market. There are some good people there, but they're departing.

Cons

KAR I.T. has struggled culturally for years as referenced by the years of poor reviews. It's gone from bad to worse. Senior leadership in IT is vastly former Interactive Intelligence folks who are bringing in their lackeys who tell them how awesome they are, but aside from that cling on to the results of others efforts. It seems each week, more of them start. It's an exclusive club where all decisions are made without participation from anyone else. You'll be lucky if you're told what to do (these folks don't communicate), let alone asked what you think, but offer a varying opinion and you'll be labeled a resistor and managed out. If you think Interactive was awesome, head on over to their reviews and see what's said there during the time they were in charge. Better yet, ask companies who used their vaporware product that never delivered. "Purecloud". Since nothing's communicated, people fill the vacuum with conspiracy theory about large layoffs coming, who's on the bubble, etc. It seems the seeds are purposefully being sown by the new regime. A lot of games are being played, including gaming people against each other. KAR I.T. is not a pleasant place to be. I always read similar reviews with a grain of salt thinking people were low performers and just disgruntled they were being held accountable. I assure you, this situation is very different. With the job market the way it is, I would look elsewhere. These cats are only in this for the short haul to achieve whatever objective they've been given, collect a big check and will leave the smoke and mirrors for someone else to clean up. Do a little reading and research, there's a pattern there. Ask around the I.T. community. The outcome is somewhat predictable.

Pros

Excellent VP and Director to learn under A great volume of returns to gain experience An efficient provision process Good work-life balance

Cons

If you are not Senior level, you will find that this position moves slower than it would in public accounting which can be frustrating from a development standpoint. Compensation could be better
