Pros
Certain teams are fun, mostly the people who deal with the clients, and there is real camaraderie among them.
Cons
Some of the senior leaders are not realy flexible and adaptable to change, and if they do bring change, it has to be on their own terms and only what they believe is worth trying. The company is struggling to establish a more mature image, however, because the leaders are not interested in listening to anybody but themselves, they don't know which way to go, and they are slow to adopt things that have been proven to work great for so many other companies. Don't believe them if they tell you they help you develop and progress in your career! This is just lip service. The company doesn't even have a tuition reimbursement benefit, so people cannot really educate themselves and prepare themselves for a higher role. The excuse is that people learn 70% of a job on the job. BUt how do you get there if you are lacking some formal education, for instance leadership courses, and cannot afford to take them on your own? You're stuck. The company does not invest in ts people and their education. Instead, it spends money on the so- called "beer cart" event each month. What a waste! Who cares about a bottle of beer at the end of the day on a Friday once a month, when the day-to-day work environment is not rewarding and motivating? The bottom line is: the company has very little money to really grow, and its senior leaders lack the vision to make it into a great company.
