Good benefits/salary - low moral and counter productive culture

It director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good benefits and salary.

Cons

They view people and their talents as commodities. Upper management is more concerned with the bottom line than with quality. They continue to attempt to outsource as much as possible with no regard to the quality of the IT product. They are easily sold on flashy powerpoint presentations from outsourcing vendors and don't take into account the difficulties in implementation and the impact on the end users.

Horrible with people

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good International exposure and opportunity to move around into different roles

Cons

I was treated absolutely horribly through an HR process at the end of my time there and ultimately decided to leave. They use the typical line that everything is being done equitably but everyone knows that it is not. I even made a complaint to HR and ultimately nothing was done. I decided to leave the company after that and it was the best decision I ever made. They really don’t treat their people well when it comes to HR processes.
