Great company for mid/senior level employees

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy going, laid back company. Not a lot of stress. Lots of opportunities to explore your career and learn new trades. Decent compensation.

Cons

Very redundant work. Too much politics in the work place. Promotions are not justifiable - title and pay are not appropriate for the position responsibilities. Financial model does not make any sense. Many projects outsourced. More employees than necessary for projects.

Eyes open, mouth shut -it is a watch your back mentality

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They try, they really do try to be an excellent company -all the groundwork for excellence is at play and they offer a good pension plan.

Cons

They ultimately fail at being excellent or even at being "C+ good". There is a corporate culture of entitlement: watch your back; mommy I'll get the belt &/or it's my turn and who cares if I am not the best. There is intense finger pointing. Key point of note: if one is good at what one does -watch out you will feel the envy of others and you will be thrown under the bus -the prior mentioned is spoken of openly through out entire the company.
