Pros
- Gain experience working on expensive technology - Good team of people working with you in the trenches - There are some good managers here - Pay is average - Workload won't kill you, at least in some areas
Cons
- Half-cubicles, cramped workspace, no privacy, literal glass doors everywhere. Every office in the building has glass walls/doors, except for the CEO's office, which is closed and unoccupied 99% of the time. It's telling that the only private space in the building is the CEO's office. If you ever do get a glimpse into that office, if you happen to get access through to the "Executive Suite", the private front desk, you'll see a very lavish office complete with full surround sound, decked out in a very obviously expensive custom decor that looks nothing like anything else in the building, more appropriate for a vacation hide-away than an office. But you'll never see it. The door is closed and locked at all times, and you'd have to pass through the 9 layers of management to even get close. - No work from home. Come in a minute late, or leave a minute early, and expect backlash. You must be in your seat all day to be productive. Management thinks that if you're not at the office, you're not working. Unless of course they call you after-hours. Then you're expected to spend hours of your "off-time" for the company. Good luck getting comp-time for it. - CEO is all about family. HIS family. Not yours. - Lack of innovation. They'd rather buy something than develop something. And what they buy will be big, expensive, difficult to use, and lacking features. - Time tracking. Expect to track every minute of every day in a very difficult to use tracking system. Probably 10% of your time can be attributed just to time tracking. But don't you dare reflect that in your time sheet! - Behind the curve on technology. Very slow to move. You won't see the latest and greatest.
