Give your friends the promotion

Pros

Great benefits, which is nice because salaries are less than annual averages.

Cons

This could have simply been my department, but mistakes were never forgotten, no matter how large or small. Promotions and job recommendations were given to friendlies instead of the most qualified.

Great flexibility and culture

Pros

Flexibility in schedule, where we work, how work gets done. Flexibility is not only offered, but also encouraged! Co-workers, benefits and pay are great. Ethics/doing the right thing is a focus of this company. Love that we have PTO since it's so much easier to manage.

Cons

Parking is a little ways away since we're located in downtown Des Moines.

Pros

Good to place to work for women in IT. They ensure a high percentage of women leadership. Total compensation package is good.

Cons

Integrity of upper management and leaders in departments is suspect. Career advancement and Salary is too dependent on cronyism and favorites. Low performance is tolerated and hard work is not necessarily rewarded.
