Great benefits, unreasonable work load

Pros

Benefits are way above average -8.5% 401k contribution, nice annual bonus etc. Coworkers are wonderful for the most part.

Cons

Workload was crazy - more like a 60-70 hour week than a 40 hour. Part of the problem was corporate management kept coming up with new (and largely unnecessary) job duties without taking any away.

Pros

Good people...I mean it. The people there, by and large, were very nice. Most everyone seemed willing to help and provide knowledge where possible. Good benefits and salary.

Cons

Meetings, meetings and more meetings. Projects consisted of about 10 managers / spec makers, and one developer. That developer spent more time in meetings about how the project was coming along than actually developing. Another major con is the amount of outsourcing. It seems like all the knowledge in the company is being transferred from implementation to babysitting offshore resources. Because of this and other, more politically motivated reasons, long time employees are leaving, and their knowledge leaves with it.
