Pros

Great Team Good Technology Company Customer Focused company

Cons

Too much work for staff to keep up with. Many people end up working extra hours or over the weekends. Not at all employee focused. Many org wide changes happening too often. No growth opportunities or reward for hardworking staff.

Pros

Lot's of great people to work with. Company mission is fantastic and has a lot of potential. Benefits were decent, pay for some jobs was comparable to Hartford, CT area. Customers were supportive and fun to engage with. Opportunity to learn a lot about various technical systems is there.

Cons

Work / life balance isn't good (but with all the extra hours you will learn a lot!). More projects in flight than can possibly be accomplished with the given staffing. Onboarding of new customers is consuming every department to the point that existing projects are suffering. Several managers who don't know when to push back or set realistic expectations for project tasks create the above scenario. Understanding who has responsibility for what is a significant challenge. C-Suite has more than one under performer, and is very territorial (except the CFO who works well with everyone). Developers and Infrastructure are isolated from each other following leadership examples. Only at the individual contributor or PM level do they interact. Strategy sessions are reserved only for those deemed worthy by management (its not an actual skillset decision).

I’m glad to see that there were many things about FPI that you liked. We understand that not every company is a match for everybody, but we love where our company is right now. We have lots of exciting projects, so yes, we are busy. We just completed a very successful on-boarding of a great new customer, Farm Credit Illinois. We are also working on our next-generation platforms based on SalesForce technology and we are investing in our people. Over 30 of our employees have completed SalesForce certifications. All I can say about our executive team is, look at their BIOs on our website (www.financialpartners.com). An impressive group who are transforming our organization as we have become the leading technology shop in the Farm Credit System. Howard Bruck, CEO

Room to improve, but there's potential

Pros

Great coworkers, great work/life balance. Management says they're trying to make compensation more competitive. We'll see how that goes, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Cons

Salaries are relatively low. Hopefully that will be changing soon, but I'll believe it when I see it. There's a lot of skepticism and/or unknowns about the direction of the company under the new management. Seems like a lot of people are jumping ship. There's a lot of change in direction, especially when it comes to certain projects. It feels like the new management is trying things that have been tried and abandoned in the past.
