Very Well Run Company with Fixable Issues

Pros

I recently started working here, and so far everything from interview process to on-boarding and orientation has been phenomenal. It is as well-oiled a machine as you can expect given the complexities of a company its size. The compensation is extremely competitive and the benefits start day 1 (health/401K/FSA/etc.). It is not a micromanaged environment, and generally you are able to move at your own pace (especially if you're accustomed to moving at a faster pace than everyone else). The long term employees are extremely helpful with sharing their institutional knowledge with you.

Cons

Some growing pains that are easily solvable. The biggest con is the time zone difference between Las Vegas and Australia, but there are strategies around it. Some other issues are that the company is growing, and with that come growing pains (outgrowing offices, new building migration, etc.).

So Duplicitous!!!!!!

Pros

* Decent benefits * You may find yourself working with another decent human being who's not a back stabber * I can't think of anything else. Meh.

Cons

* SO many of the "reviews" posted here that lean towards "positive" are BS: "Basically Synthesized"!!! At this point in time, long-standing mid-management is running scared, trying to escape the impending doom... so they're fabricating good reviews hoping to draw new recruits into the web. * Development positions are being posted daily, but they are potentially either red herrings, designed by HR to promote company image, OR simply un-sustainable positions that will be eliminated sooner than an un-suspecting new hire might imagine. This is due to the recent pronouncement by senior management to "honor their commitment to the out-sourcing of dev positions to India. (read about the disenchantment and dissatisfaction of Noida employees in THIS forum). * Back-stabbing behavior among mid-to-senior management here is RAMPANT, and has been for years. (disclaimer: I have never been a management-level employee at this company) If you investigate the reason(s) for this, you find that it comes down to two things: 1) upper management fails to communicate clearly with middle management re: actual development goals 2) development leads are simultaneously hamstrung by their management, and have the freedom to be autocratic despite the "supposed" existence of an "agile" dev environment. * Bottom line: this is a Very Complex working environment, not worth the hassle.

Terrible and incompetent P&C Team

Pros

Nothing positive to say here

Cons

Awful company to work for. Terribly run P& C team by ignorant and incompetent Directors, no idea how they get promoted, probably for staying there for many years and getting brain washed. They suppress their employees, having to work in an unstable environment and constantly micromanaged.Completely incompetent for the Directors and Senior Directors do, it did not stop to amaze me. Having the audacity to say they care about their team.
