Pros

You can dress casually and you can bring your dog to work. Other than that, this place absolutely, positively, without a doubt, SUCKS.

Cons

- recruiters tell you that you'll be performing one job, but when you start you're doing something completely different! Classic bait and switch - there is no structure! Constant re-Orgs - entire departments have been fired with little to short notice - entire departments have been dissolved and employees have been told they can switch to client facing departments or quit - racial bias - bias based on tenure - Crappy management - responsibilities are added to your plate without an increase in pay - did I mention management SUCKED?! - HR sucks - a pro and a con, You can bring your dog to work. Constant barking and dogs jumping on you - dogs in the meeting rooms - dogs walking in on your stall while your in the bathroom - if you submit a notice, management won't let you stay until your desired end date. You will be "let go" the very next day - the company is WHITE WASHED there is no kind of diversity here - the minorities that are hired are only hired for call center positions - severely underpaid - promotions don't exist unless your best friends with management - no one does their job - everyone tries to blame someone else for a mishap - work from home comes with many contingencies (working 10 hour days) - you're told you have to work 9 hour days if you want to take a lunch - you're not allowed to take lunches if there is a pointless meeting scheduled or else you will be reprimanded - no opportunity for growth

Pros

Benefits, flextime, teamwork, product innovation, opportunity to up skill

Cons

Constant change to processes, hard to promote after Manager band. Usually lateral moves for the ‘learning knowledge and new skill that ultimately gets you nowhere but another lateral role option. They even offer to demote and cut pay rather than pay for the experience being brought to the role.
