Pros

Colleagues were generally supportive, the technology staff was always helpful, and senior team members took the initiative to support new employees.

Cons

Management did not do a good job of keeping staff abreast of new issues, acting as though new issues were privileged information for which you had to be in a secret club to learn (even though it was essential to the job). Management also put too much pressure on senior staff to do the job of management, such as on-boarding new team members and reviewing work product.

Pros

An ok place to work if you're married with kids and need work/life balance. Low stress most of the time. Overall package is good. On both the market reg and member reg side, legal and financial are treated well.

Cons

If you enjoy working in technology, you will not enjoy working there. The tech side is not shown any respect. Most of your coworkers will be H1Bs who are treated like livestock. Turnover is high. Morale is low. I can not recall a single time someone in tech was asked for an opinion by management. New policies and technologies are introduced without buy-in from the support people by people who have little to no understanding of the technology or what it is used for. Some departments grow even when the workload stays the same. Additional employees are used to push paper around, slowing down other departments. There is a lot of political infighting between departments. Management added two layers of bureaucracy in my time there. Most employees must fill out two timesheets each week, some fill out three!
