5 stars for benefits, fails at supervisor selection

Pros

Start off with 3 weeks vacation, 100% company match to 6% with 401k (in some cases more), 10 sick days/yr, subsidized lunches($5 for entree & 3 sides/desserts) gym membership, covered parking, good pay, nice facilities.

Cons

Too many people who do sloppy work and make life miserable for team members who actually try to make the company better. Supervisors picked who are not knowledgeable about the team they are supposed to lead. The lazy or slow-learning employees are not called out and the hard-working ones end up picking up the slack but are under-appreciated. Career development is encouraged, but after seeing people transferred to teams and positions without the basic qualifications to fulfil the roles, it is easy to lose all hope.

Pros

Good pay and bonuses, $2 lunches, gym membership discounts

Cons

Huge turnover, and when people leave, they take their time to replace them. Management could not care less when good people quit. Constantly understaffed and overworked, and there will be blaming and huge consequences if you do not finish doing two people's work on time. Frequently hire consultants from Accenture, and PWC and Deloitte, who are a nightmare to work with. Culture of throwing people under the bus and stealing credit for other people's work. Some people work 40/wk and some work 80/week. Work life balance is terrible for you if you have a bad supervisor, and moving to other departments is impossible.

Company losing its way; lost what made it special

Pros

Pay is great - too high to easily leave Benefits are great - some gaps and co-pays and insurance premiums up significantly in past three years Retirement - very good

Cons

Management doesn't live their "Charter Values" Say one thing to comfort staff, then have had four layoffs in two years - every time was the "last" Performance reviews not worth anything - no rating given, nothing to point to years later to show the value you've added Bonus being diluted into a Darwinian scramble for a fixed pool of money -- you only gain if you peers lose
