Pros

Awesome atmosphere and working environment. Employees care and core values are the base of everything in the company. Deserves its place in the Great Companies to Work For rankings.

Cons

Is the company getting too big too quickly? Systems and processes are not always very well structured, which can make things tough for employees at times.

Pros

- Company has that, we will do whatever the customer needs to get the business attitude - Growing company - Upper management works hard to communicate their vision and direction of what the company is about, and what direction they want to take the company, this includes expectations from what they want from employees - Good people, morale is pretty high across the board. - Great versatility on different types of products, technology, and solutions, that gets to be worked on.

Cons

Need more focus around career development of people. There is no clear path to move up, and management rarely promotes from within, though this does not seem universal, since other groups around us do promote from within. This lack of career paths is constant source of frustration for some people in the organization. Management manages the customer programs, but do very little to manage and or develop their employees.

Thank you. I do believe we promote from within perhaps more than what you see but very good feedback which I will share. Providing a clear career path can be difficult as we want individuals to pursue their passions rather than the potential of excessive structure. Part of our mission is to be a Growth company which we hope will continue to provide more diverse and plentiful opportunities for employees. I do get your point and I encourage you to talk to your manager or department VP or anyone on the HR team to discuss your career options. Finally, we’re in the middle of a pilot for an employee mentoring program called NOVA. Depending on the level of success of the pilot, it will likely be expanded. More to come. Thank you again and good luck.

Pros

Great people, great pay, lots of intelligence and innovation. Work can be fun when you're with the right team.

Cons

Lip service to Agile and IT is dominated by business. Company culture can be blindly optimistic and sometimes avoids important discussions.
