      Unimpressive Sr. Management and Many Incompetent Employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great business model that is highly profitable - hard for the under-performers (and there are many of them) to screw things up

      Cons

      Company/management seems to value industry knowledge versus competency. Few folks are held accountable to actually get things done and when initiatives fail, which they often times do, the leaders who were on the hook to deliver are given more responsibility and get to fail on even larger initiatives. If this company had to actually work to make money they would be out of business quickly.

      We appreciate your feedback, and are sorry to hear you had a negative experience. While we wish you had a different, more positive experience, we are happy to report that this is not a common theme we hear, or the company culture we’ve come to know. In our most recent engagement pulse survey, the vast majority of employees expressed confidence in our senior leadership. While this is a strong showing, we are always looking at ways to do even better.

      Pros

      Nobody bothers you. A lot of vacation days.

      Cons

      Off-shoring of jobs. Endless bureaucracy and meetings. Security concerns make everything painful. Spend more time configuring files than writing actual code.

From technology-focused optimization and automation initiatives to significant investments in Six Sigma training to streamlining key administrative processes, finding opportunities to be more efficient in our work is a priority.
