Pros

The people are great. The groups I work with work really hard and do work long hours too but they also know how to take a break from the seriousness and have fun with it.

Cons

Needs to be more communication from the top down. Leadership should be consistent companywide.

Disrespectful Management, Interesting Product.

Business Outlook

Pros

The product is good, the evolution of the company is interesting, and the employees see no translation of it in salaries or incentives. Location is great.

Cons

Disrespectful Management. The work environment is harsh because what is requested to employees is to work without the necessary tools to achieve unrealistic goals. Partners are usually impressed about how tough is the treatment on the phone of some Managers towards employees. I have encountered unprepared Managers that were qualified to deploy their Projects and had a proven record of it but had ZERO Management skills. I have seen unacceptable behaviors of Management within this company. Human Resources does nothing to protect employees from inappropriate management.
