Pros

Pockets of fantastic talent Dedicated workforce Not beyond repair

Cons

NO work life balance, despite all the talk. No checks on ridiculous amounts bureaucratic demands, including what color paper a memo is printed in... Bonuses have been going down for years, at least in the US. Key employees leaving. Pressure to down-rate talented, hard working employees to enforce mandatory curve. Senior management very political. Too top-heavy, growing groups of upper level managers. Not devolving decision making to the lowest appropriate levels to allow those in the know to

Pros

- Good benefits package - Growth company - Learning materials readily available - Most projects are M-Th and remote Friday

Cons

- No mobility to new products when company direction changes, even if certifications are obtained in the new products - Sales is not given incentives to promote services positions for implementation - Price themselves out of project positions - Reviews are fully focused on billable time for consultants but consultants are not given the full picture of available projects - Full time projects any longer than a short duration are almost non-existent - Focus on RDS methodology marginalizes consultants - Bonus allocations continue to decline

Almost All The Talent Has Left

Pros

benefits, location, free lunch, beautiful office

Cons

Almost all of the talent and smart people have already left. There are a few good people left but wouldn't be surprised if they leave when the rest of their stock vests. Most of the people left are the employees that need improvement. The rating system is garbage and rates almost everyone as "delivers well" even if they are a disaster. Only the worst of the worst are rated as "needs improvement" so even if someone is a poor performer, they think they aren't and don't make any efforts to contribute to the broader team. High performers are not encouraged to do well, only to dumb themselves down to make the low performers feel better. Executive management has no clue how horrible the day to day work is because the VP's and what not paint a rosy picture that is completely incorrect. Certain VPs were promoted too quickly and lack experience, while others were never promoted even though they should have been. Basically, everything is a mess. Pretty sure the company will only get worse as it gets "SAP-ified" and all the remaining good people leave. I wouldn't go back to work here, even if someone offered me a million dollars a year.
