The place to work if you don't care about what you do

Pros

- Relatively balanced work-life (if you are not on a project with a severe deadline) - Some decent coworkers (at a personal level) - Ok benefits

Cons

- HR policies. You report lateness to HR, not your supervisor. - 8.5 hours per day is required (as opposed to the standard 8 hours). - Kronos timecard system is mandatory for salaried employees. Failure to clock breaks results in an automatic 1.5 hour break recorded for the day. - Mandatory holiday party that, if missed, will result in forgoing all holiday pay for the year. - Chain of command must be followed such that the only visibility to your work is the person above you. - That in turn provides little opportunity for career advancement. - Especially if the organization you are in has nearly six levels of management. - That in turn also does not promote ideas or creativity. Just be a mindless drone and go home. - People with military backgrounds would most likely thrive in this environment.

Pros

Good coffee. Fresh-ground beans in a machine, all day, every day. Smart people. No smoking.

Cons

Dismissed with no warning or reason Not allowed to use my training; had to "ok" mistakes made by senior members of team Expected to work about 1 hour without pay every day Management culture was male Muslim. White American females made up about 2% of building.

Pros

The only benefits are the compensation, free coffee, and the 20% discount at The Ranch (owned by the same CEO), which is a pretty good restaurant, ironically.

Cons

The list is horrendous. First, they run a traditional HR practice. I read these reviews and thought of them as nonsense, before I worked there! HR is always on your back. And if you're late by a minute, expect to be penalized. You have to report to them when you're late or leaving early. They are very opened to fire you if you cross there boundaries. If you're late, or cannot make it in...They will try to replace you. I had to speak with leads and managers, but it's true. They only see numbers, not what you contribute to the company. Second, you can't wear cologne or scents, you cannot wear a beard. There is no casual dress day. They don't participate in charities (very greedy company, I believe...at least support schools!), you cannot smoke a cigarette (I don't smoke, but you can get terminated for it and I find it disturbing). You cannot go home, smoke, and return to work with any hint of the smell. You cannot reverse park near any wall. You have no privacy, at all, AND the workplace is not very diversified. I'm telling you this now, if you work here to support a family or to "retire," your live will be miserable. Everyone looks drained and rarely you'll see a smile.
