Pros

Work life balance seriously valued, agile transformation in progress across IT, great people almost no jerks, lean working has taken hold, app development in house

Cons

Committee think heavy, process heavy, bureaucracy heavy, not cutting edge in IT, sales and market still forgets there is a website rather than using it as a tool.

Pros

The health coverage is probably the only barely decent thing this company can offer it's employees.

Cons

There are too many to mention in this limited space....giving only a few. This company cannot afford even a paper cup let alone complimentary tea/coffee. You'll have to purchase everything from the cafeteria. Everything is minimalistic in nature required to squeeze the max out of the line staff. The entire management spend their entire days in useless meetings while the line staff work their butts off. There's no work-life balance and little thought is given to such trivialities which does not affect the management anyway. Procrastination and CYA pervades each and every action by the management who unfailingly micromanage across the board. Ass kissers are preferred over talented hardworking individuals. ( An SVP is a HS graduate ! ) You do not see any senior management in the aisles unless there's an emergency...none of them make any effort to even walk around or talk to staff and get their views. Not a single person from the management has any idea what is required in today's tech savvy world. Most of them are still dreaming of the "golden days" of mainframe computers and think the web is what you see in a dusty corner of your home. Try explaining issues to such people and getting them to take any decision !! There's no onsite gym or any meaningful perks offered to employees. There's zero scope of promotion or even a career with this company.
