Pros

Contracts with our suppliers and customers have been renegotiated over the past several years. The resulting contracts have created a great potential for expansion and a need for analytic and software staff. Limited work from home is sometimes available. Good vacation benefits. Decent year-end bonus in recent years.

Cons

As is many corporations, managers are wooed and hired while the production level gets overloaded and offshored. Project schedules are set optimistically to meet contract needs, but staff is not added to produce. Significant free overtime is expected and commonplace. Salaries at hire are good, but promotion below management level is designed to be difficult and pay raises almost non-existent. A significant number of employees "boomerang" out to other companies then come back. Project management is very weak and in fear of reporting any problems to management.

Pros

Exceptionally intelligent colleagues working very hard on a regular basis, solving interesting and challenging business problems using data analytics.

Cons

Individuals must tightly manage their own work/life balance and take good care not to get caught up in a constant cycle of over-performance.

Pros

Good salary & benefits Flexible schedule - you can overwork whether you want Though conditions are very, very rough - there is a lot of nice people.

Cons

Very high, stressful load of work A lot of politics at work, pure tech people are not respected and will never be promoted. All promotions are very politics, so promoted people often not competent enough. Tech people are very overcrowded with work, so there is very bad experience sharing and good tech people turnover. If you want to grow as technical person - company is not for you.
