Pros

Work stays at work, never bring it home. Benefits are excellent and profit sharing/performance bonus at year end.

Cons

MICRO management at the ut-most. I cannot stress this enough. Everything is monitored.

Avoid if you don't want to be micromanaged

Pros

Salaries, company parties, benefits, bonuses

Cons

The micromanagement is insane. From the nitpicky attire (especially for women), performance reviews, and how long you can take to go to the bathroom, this place is the epitome of micromanagement and trust issues. Your performance is recognized, but it doesn't matter at the end of the day, because they'll write you up for the smallest things. Don't even think about twiddling your thumbs or breathing because they'll probably write you up for that too. During performance reviews, even the best workers only get 3/5, yikes. During down time and slower periods of the day, you just sit and stare at your screen all day. They banned reading during down time. You can't do anything during down time. They tell you to read up on policies and products, but you can only do that so many times. They remote in to watch your screen and watch you work silently. They do random phone monitorings. They watch you like a hawk. Avoid this controlling corporate nightmare and work for a company that actually values you and trusts you.

Pros

- Pay - People - Work is not bad - Direct Managers

Cons

- Absolutely NO NO NO flexibility - Hiring developers based on “personality” rather than skill and personality - Upper Management - Would rather risk a 10 vehicle accident than give the company WFH for a snowstorm. - Cubicles - Business Professional - Not enough lunch tables - Can’t have more than 3 things on desk - Chairs suck - Clock in and out for salary employees
