Pros

I really have enjoyed my time at this company, the perks are outstanding and I really like my day to day. The amount of potential at this company despite the hard times just oozes out of every corner. The place makes me want to believe. And I have to say, I have liked and valued my experience working with almost every single individual contributor I have met in IT. Even the frustrating ones are usually competent and sharp. I feel a great deal of pride and companionship with the people still there.

Cons

As I mentioned, "the people still here". That's the problem. We've been shrinking almost every month since I've been here. Morale at this place has cratered. Most people left are actively hoping for a pink slip out of fear of being the one who gets stuck having to turn out the lights without a severance. Worse - upper management is very anti transparency. I sometimes wonder if the active goal is to make people exit from morale.

Pros

Pleasant coworkers who are always willing to assist and educate, great team working and collaborative environment

Cons

Terrible, far below industry-average pay, required to work weekends and evenings for free, long hours. Management is composed of the most incompetent fools imaginable. The turn over is so high you’d think management gets extra bonus for losing people. Zero upside to hard work, will result in no raises or promotions. The only thing management values is how much butt you can kiss and how much you fall in line. Keeping up with appearances and playing politics while puffing up management’s ego by saying how great all their idiotic decisions are is the only way you’re going to get anything at this company. Layoffs are extremely common, if you want job security you won’t find it here. If your favorite hobby is drinking the corporate kool-aid you’ll love it here, otherwise find anywhere else to work.
