Pros

As a project manager it started out fairly well.A lot of clients. A few really talented people. Not afraid to spend money.

Cons

Where do I start. A lot of finger-pointing. When the cat is away.... Redundancy forced corner cutting. Unrealistic project timelines. The company had just implemented a company wide CRM system that is very slow. I averaged 200 mouse clicks per day with an average wait time of 10 seconds per click. That is over 30 minutes per day or 12% of my workday. The health benefits favor young single males, not family's so I did not accept their insurance. They are stretched thin across the board and most projects required outsourcing installation technicians, which required supervision. The internal cost estimates for each project are seriously understated as they assume resources are available and they are not. The office that I was in did not follow the company processes and misrepresented services to clients on a regular basis. Did I mention NO RESOURCES?

Pros

A lot of the employees are great to work with. ESOP is a plus. Location is good. Parking is good.

Cons

Where do I even begin? Pay is low for the Bay Area and for the space this company is in.. A lot of the employees are great to work with but the clique of employees who worked with each other at another company is blindingly rampant and shows of favoritism for outsiders. Management is inconsistent about performance and punishment for employees who are NOT good at what they do and for dedicated employees who were given an impossible task. Performance reviews are not done in a timely fashion. Communication is not great between colleagues.
