Pros

Benefits, travel re-imbursement, and flexible. Pay is decent, with raises, bonuses, and overtime. I'm finally being paid appropriately for what I love doing

Cons

My main struggle when starting was trying to remember the names of everyone I met on the first week. So many great people.

Pros

Good PTO. Small improvements seems like huge achievements to them. My department was fairly flexible on time. The dual monitors are nice.

Cons

Culture is abysmal. No investment in the workforce. Bad management is permitted even though directors will tell you they know they are terrible.

Pros

Downtown location, if you like that. Free parking at Muni Lot. Free nurse practitioner on site; free flu shots; wellness benefits/reimbursement program. Casual dress. Vacation, sick time, personal days all combined into one category - Paid Time Off (PTO) - about 18-20 total days; Holidays include some bank holidays. Work from home available, but policy not consistent between departments.

Cons

No training; no career development. Company hires managers with no management experience and some with no degree. Hires employees from outside instead of looking within. HR doesn't know the first thing about how to keep good employees. If you resign, they do nothing to try to keep you. Therefore, employees are worthless to them. Complaints are ignored. Employees must use noise-cancelling headphones to get any work done. Extremely small workstations set end-to-end; absolutely no privacy; old chairs, most of them broken and extremely uncomfortable for extended periods of sitting. Some managers don't know how to manage large departments. Communication non-existent, hostile, or severely lacking between departments, management and employees. Best practices not communicated or non-existent. Standards for development and testing are lacking or missing entirely. Many new hires do not know the first thing about IT. Experienced, skilled and knowledgeable employees leave after only one or two years; no incentives provided to stay. Pay not at market rates for quality experienced and skilled employees. Medical benefits could be hugely better for a Fortune 500 company. Policies not consistent among departments (i.e. some have more work-from-home ability than others.) Extremely low morale in some departments.
