Pros

Located in Irving - good parking, good cafeteria, cubes are spacious

Cons

Training for your job is not a priority and there is a lot stress and turnaround as a result. As a database developer it took me over 5 months to get fully on-boarded in my role. With decent training, I could've been up to speed in my job role in 2 months or less. Training is part of HR and the training team is loaded with people who are not training professionals, especially IT training professionals. You realize this when you are speaking with them about training. You have HR people trying to wear the training hat. What training is offered is piecemeal at best. To learn the "Epsilon way of doing business" you can't just toss Lynda.com at the tech people.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you like some of our perks. We are grateful for your feedback and detailed description of the issues you faced here at Epsilon. Your comments help us to better understand where we can focus efforts to make our training and onboarding even better. We do have a Learning and Development department which is comprised of four practice areas of experienced trainers: professional development, sales training and early career programs. We are also adding a fourth practice area of technical training and are currently looking to hiring a Director of Technical Training to help us bring more focus and attention to this kind of specialized training. Our goal is to help new associates get assimilated as quickly as possible with relevant training to do their jobs, and we hope that you will consider Epsilon again in the future. Thank you again! --Human Resources Team

Pros

- Friday breakfasts provided by company in Schaumburg location. - Decent systems to work with - Top notch social media and highly technical folks

Cons

- they expect you to work until you get sick - highly political environment - use GE's Rank & Yank methodology to supposedly get a higher performing workforce by firing the bottom x percent of employees per department. As a result, instead of collaborating on solving problems, people have the incentive to back-stab and prevent their colleagues from being ranked higher than they are. Enter cesspool! - the pay is poor but better than another major competitor. - the insurance could be better.
