Pros

Benefits, pretty flowers on a beautiful campus

Cons

Management should be ashamed of the environment they have created. So much micro management. I watched a documentary on a North Korean company and Irvine matches the management style blow for blow. I studied retirement plan and mutual funds info on my own spare time , helped maintain our training and references, and literally let other associates cry on my shoulder as stress chipped away at us everyday. I’m so glad I left and felt strongly enough to come back and write this review. Also this environment fosters immoral employees. They all marry each other, have kids, then sleep around within the company. I know of managers doing this as well. Don’t work here. It’s not worth your life or soul

Pros

Good compensation and retirement plan and you'll likely never get fired even if you're extremely low performing.

Cons

1. Too many redundant meeting with not enough time to do personal tasks. 2. Extremely tight internet policies up to a point of stifling work. 3. Managers cares more about employees looking busy than actually getting something accomplished. 4. Employees regularly talk back behind each other, as does management. 5. Company-wide conferences waste too much time on things that we don't really need. 6. Culture encourages people who stay rather than people accomplish, people looking forward to their retirement rather than the current task. 7. Career advancement depends more on playing workplace politics than your merit. 8. Management is not good at communicating project goals and objectives to both clients and employees. If you're looking for a job that gives you a nice paycheck every 2 weeks, this is the company for you. If you actually want to feel fulfilled and accomplish something in your life, stay far, far away from this company.

Pros

Capital offered good benefit. Long hours but offset by overtime pay.

Cons

Low morale within Results team. High attrition - promoted staffs resigned or moved as fast as they could. Director management spoke about concern with extreme low engagement score at Information and Insight group. Yet, they only reach out to their direct report, instead of reach out to the associates to hear concern about managers.
