Pros

They've acquired lots of other companies and are trying to bring them into their umbrella. I worked with a company they acquired but was hired after the purchase. The management in my location was awesome. The IT guys/girls were awesome. The environment was laid back.

Cons

They brought their off shore team onshore so most of IT isn't American. If you've worked in IT for that long then you know how fun these off shore ventures are. They are highly political, like most of corporate America. They don't care about your skill set they care about you following their rules. While I was there more that 5 skilled white iT guys were fired or left all due to the incompetence of one manager. The manager continues to be protected at the C level because of his ethnicity.

Pros

Overall, I've had a very positive experience. One of the biggest strengths has been the people. I've had the opportunity to work with a great team and strong leadership, and everyone has been supportive, collaborative, and approachable. I appreciate the positive culture and the willingness of colleagues to help one another and share knowledge. I also value the work-life balance, which have helped create a healthy and productive work environment. The team fosters open communication, and I've enjoyed the variety of work and the opportunity to learn from different people and perspectives. Overall, it's been a great place to work, and I've genuinely enjoyed being part of the team.

Cons

* Greater visibility into long-term career development and advancement opportunities would be valuable. Establishing more structured career development programs and mentorship opportunities could help employees better understand potential growth paths and support their long-term development. * While there have been noticeable improvements, having more in-office activities and opportunities for collaboration and connection for employees who come into the office could make the experience more engaging and further strengthen team culture and employee engagement.
