Pros

The job is stable , good benefits in terms of healthcare and compensation for a starting role.

Cons

This is by far the worst company I have worked for. Management is pathetic- they have no clue what their subordinates are doing though they are paid more than 10 times of a fresh graduate employee.Employee evaluation is not based on job performance or workload but purely on impression, people who do no work get promoted and the others work their ass off for years with no reward or recognition or career growth. There is no focus on team work or projects because everyone is interested in impressing the boss by putting the blame on someone else rather than resolving the real issues or understanding the problems. Meetings are merely debate contests with no action items so it is all talk and no action. Too much buraeucracy and different levels for escalations especially with the IT, it takes way too much time to get things done so it is very frustrating.

Pros

Good severance provided. Nice manager. Cut to the minimum for short term gain. Look good on paper and not to worry about tomorrow.

Cons

Sudden notification of job elimination. Never realized career professional development talked about on paper. Hard work and no incentive to do better.

Pros

If you like paper, colors, and fabric, you'll like this company.The work environment is peaceful and you can order ant supplies you need.

Cons

The offices are nice but the 500 emails received daily can never be addressed. This is a type of company where they dont care about you. They only care about the client. so working til 3am and on weekends is a regular thing.
