Pros
Great benefits Used to have a tuition reimbursement program-that stopped Used to get a raise every year-that stopped Used to get paid overtime-that stopped (same hours though!)
Cons
Management does not have any talent towards the product-half your day is spent explaining to your manager what you do and why you do it so they can go explain it to senior staff who just want to bandaid the problem, throw money at it, whatever they need to do to make the customer shut up. Management does not care about you, they care about profits and making sure they don't look bad to senior staff They want you to continue working nights and weekends and then "treat" you by giving you a day off in the week. Most people really need the overtime and could use the nights and weekends as family time. No incentive to do better....just do your job, keep your head down, don't cause waves Corporate wants quality but does not give you the head count to be able to do quality work Product is not innovative, it is old and buggy and there is no money to improve Management and senior staff do not look to the future, they just look to the end of the month or the end of the quarter. Half the management and senior staff are clueless as to what is needed in order for the product to succeed in competitive markets.
