Pros

Conveniant to get to, as well as good 401(K). Work life balance is pretty good, at least in my area, not in all though

Cons

Been there for 10 years. Originally it was a "big" company, but run like a small one. Now, 3 owners later, its layered in process, procedure and politics. When the consulting pie disappeared in 2008, many came to work at TU. With that came large salaries for them, as well as halt in product development, advancement and the culture became very stuffy. Things that used to take 2 days, started take 2 weeks, probably due to management knowing absolutely nothing about data or TU's clients. I've been on both the IT side as well as the business side of things. IT has "leaders" who truly now nothing about IT, however, they talk well. The technical side of things is archaic because of a heavy reliance on vendors to sell enterprise products that do not produce and the soldiers are left to try and use these "tools." Thier third party survey's pointed out numerous areas that need serious attention, mainly advancement, COMMUNICATION, and training. No improvement whatsover in these areas, especially the communication area. Serious lack of direction, not just from the very top, but within small groups. Frustrating to say least. Lots of hiring going on right now, however revenue is flat. Big changes coming in 2016, most beleive Goldman Sachs will IPO it or sell the business. Lots of turnover happening. Serious caste system in place, "haves" and "have nots", mostly have nots.

Pros

Higher than average salaries. The building is currently going through a renovation and will have a much more modern look. There is also a new CEO who is trying to make the culture more employee friendly.

Cons

Lack of direction and leadership from upper management. There is a lot of inefficiencies and manual processes. There is a lack of communication between segments.

Went from an enjoyable corporate culture to complete bedlam

Pros

If you can get in on the good side of Executive Vice Presidents, you stand a good chance of getting noticed. Regardless, the offer good benefits, including excellent health insurance and 401k matching.

Cons

In order to meet newly aggressive revenue goals, management now has unreasonable expectations about work loads. This has resulted in a lack of work/life balance, along with contradictory instructions and information from executive management.
